German Apple Cake

Bikin cake dengan bahan dasar buah-buahan selalu menyenangkan buat gue. Atau sayur-sayuran, ini juga menarik buat gue. Seperti carrot cake dan cupcake timun yang pernah gue bikin. Beda aja rasanya dan gak membosankan daripada sekedar cake coklat doang atau vanilla aja tanpa embel-embel variasi rasa yang lain.

Suatu hari pas lagi blogwalking, baca-baca cerita orang tentang the Famous German Apple Cake. Penasaran aja pengen nyoba. Sayang si empunya cerita gak menyertakan resep. Jadilah gue googling around cari tau seperti apa gerangan si Apple Cake ini. Resep yang gue coba kali ini, gue ambil dari Allrecipes. Ini resep paling simple di antara beberapa resep yang gue kumpulin. White sugar gue ganti pake light brown sugar. Kalo bikin cake yang base-nya sayuran atau buah, gue lebih prefer pake brown sugar, wanginya lebih enak. Toppingnya gue modif pake streussel, lagi males makan yang pake olesan-olesam cream (males makan apa males bikin?).

Gatau deh, sebenernya German Apple Cake itu kayak apa rasanya? Kira-kira gini gak, Sheil? ;).

INGREDIENTS
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups apples - peeled, cored and diced

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl; beat oil and eggs with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat well.
3. Combine the flour salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon together in a bowl. Slowly add this mixture to the egg mixture and mix until combined. The batter will be very thick.
