This old recipe from an Iowa farm makes a scrumptious cake!

German Apple Cake 2 cups white sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp salt 1 tsp soda 2 cups flour 1 cup oil 2 tsp cinnamon nuts (optional) 1 tsp vanilla 4 cups apples (Wealthy apples preferred) Mix ingredients in a bowl (do not use mixer as batter is very thick). Spread batter in greased and floured 9 x 13" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream or icing (see separate recipe)
