Fresh Apple Cake

One of my Granny Baker's recipes.

Ingredients

1 cup of vegetable oil
2 cups of sugar
2 eggs, well-beaten
4 apples, grated
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoon of vanilla

Directions

Mix together the oil, sugar, and eggs. Grate the apples, you can leave the peel on, and add to the mixture.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the apple mixture and then add the vanilla.

Pour into a greased 9'' x 13'' pan and bake at 300* for about an hour. The cake will be very brown when done. Use the toothpick test to determine when done.

You can eat plain or with a caramel sauce or whipped cream.

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/4 cup honey

Preheat oven to 400* F.

Into a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and honey.
Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.
Pour batter into a well greased muffin tin. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden on top and crispy around the edges.

p.s. I made this recipe and then made it again using the other half can of corn to make spicy corn muffins. I added one jalapeno and some black pepper and cut down the sugar to 1/4 cup and didn't use any honey.
