Walnut Apple Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. butter or margarine
2 c. sugar
3 eggs
3 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. mace
3 c. apples, chopped
2 c. walnuts, chopped
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix and sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and mace.
Stir in vanilla, apples and walnuts.
Batter will be stiff.
Spoon into greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
Bake at 325\u00b0 for 1 1/2 hours.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes and then remove to rack.
During baking, a macaroon-type crust forms on the top, so it needs no icing.
Keeps very moist for many days.
