I got this recipe from an online friend. She titled it Grandmother's Autumn Cake, but since it's not my Grammy or Ga's recipe, I wouldn't feel right about using that title. And it's really seasonless. So. Here it is.
Old-fashioned uber-delicious cake
1 1/2 c oil
1 3/4 c sugar
3 eggs
combine and beat 3 min.
3 c. flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinn
2 tsp vanilla
Mix with above and fold in 3 cups (3-4 apples) chopped apples and 1 c. nuts (opt).
Pour into loaf pans or cake pans or whatever. Bake 1 hour on 350 (and this will look done far before that, but it won't be. Don't be fooled).
Buttermilk Icing
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
Bring to full boil (you need a large saucepan for this...it doubles) and pour over hot cakes.
These ingredients can be easily interchanged by substituting honey, whole wheat flour, coconut oil or butter, etc. These cakes freeze and keep BEAUTIFULLY if you use the buttermilk icing. The author of the recipe said she took one out of the freezer a year later and heated it up and it still tasted fresh and delicious.

I can see why you like the Pioneer Woman: butter! Lots of butter in the Pioneer Woman's kitchen!
Thanks so much for checking out my blog/podcast. We actually have a lot of Protestant listeners, and Protestant pastors, too. I think they are discovering some of the ancient ideas/practices of Catholicism as they are trying to renew their own churches (from what I've gathered). Of course, as this week's podcast reveals, I'm grateful for my Protestant friends whose love for Jesus made me want to know him, too.
If you like the podcast, I hope you'll sign up for our "Notify List" on the sidebar, and we'll send you an email every week when the new episode posts.
Peace be with you, and I'm going to dig into your blog now!
