Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

  2. Mix 5 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add apple slices and toss to coat.

  3. Mix flour, 2 cups sugar, oil, orange juice, eggs, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract together in another bowl and beat until smooth and thoroughly blended. Batter will be thick.

  4. Place 1/2 of the batter in the prepared tube pan. Top with 1/2 of the apple slices. Add remaining batter to the pan, and neatly arrange remaining apple slices on top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 1 hour. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Recipe Note

I've been making this cake for over 30 years, and always get great compliments from it. Even my sweets-hating husband likes this one. I've been making it for my mother's birthday for years...it's her favorite. It's a dense cake with great flavor, so if you're looking for a light, fluffy cake, this is not for you!
