A Fabulous Apple Cake!

I wanted to share this recipe with you for some time now, but couldn't find it. This week I discovered it filed in with the salad recipes by mistake, and I'm really happy to have found it, because it is a family favorite and it wouldn't seem like Fall without it. This recipe yields one of the most delicious apple cakes that I've ever tasted. I don't remember how or when I acquired it, but I do know that it was a blue ribbon winner at a county fair in Amish country.


APPLE TUBECAKE

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar plus 5 Tsp. sugar for topping
1 cup veg. oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp. baking powder
2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
5 sliced apples
2 tsp. cinnamon

In a large bowl, blend together well: flour, 2 cups sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, baking powder, and vanilla. (I do this in my Kitchen Aid to get it nice and smooth)
In a separate bowl, Mix apples, 5 Tbsp. sugar and cinnamon.
Pour 1/2 of the batter into an ungreased tube pan, cover with half the apple mix and repeat layers once.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Let cake cool for about 1 hour before turning out onto a cake plate, sugar and apple side up.
Refrigerate leftovers.
Cake also freezes well.
