Apple Black Walnut Cake

Published January 04, 2019

Combine apples and sugar and let stand. Beat oil, eggs and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and add alternately with apple mixture. Add nuts. Pour into greased and floured 9x13 pan. Frost with lemon butter frosting.

I prefer vanilla frosting or just a dusting of powdered sugar. The lemon overpowers the flavors of the cake.
