My Mom's Other Soft Apple Cake (In a Tube Pan)

"My mom is just amazing. After 70+ years of cooking for others, she keeps on coming up with new ideas for yet another delicious dish. Today she gave me this recipe for another soft apple cake (to distinguish them from her passover apple cake and her "hard" apple cake, my personal favorite). It whips up fast, makes a nice presentation, and freezes well if you dont gobble it down first. I think she got it from "America Cooks for Israel", a cookbook that happens to feature some of her recipes too, courtesy of her only daughter. ;-) Try it, and join in singing my mom's praise."

  1. I found this exact recipe elsewhere and made it. It is by FAR the best apple cake I have made so far. I submitted photos so others will see what it looks like. I used 6 large macoun apples, I thought I used too many but it came out perfect. Make sure you cook it the full 1 hr 45 minutes.<br/>The batter seemed a little loose but came out GREAT!! I used 1/2 cup apple sauce and 1/2 cup oil instead of the full cup, that is the only change I made. It is the best recipe on this site!!!!
     
  2. I had such high hopes for this cake. Followed recipe, turned out a bit dry and the cake part a bit bland, (tested done @ 65 minutes). Might try again with some tweaking.
     
  3. This recipe is delicious! One of the best apple cakes I have made.
     
  4. Still the very very best apple cake around................have tried many others. I do cut back on sugar but that is a personal taste. Thanks for reminding us of this great cake.....highly recommend. Follow recipe as written please.
     
  5. It's cooling now! My friend used to make "Jewish Apple Cake" I have tried to find the recipe for a long time. It was made in a tube pan. This is a close to the recipe as I have found. It smells wonderful. I used a silacone tube pan but found it took a little more time. I used 4 very large granny smith apples and it seemed like it may have been a little to much. It released from the pan and is cooling on a plate. Can't wait for dinner to be over so I can have a slice! Update: It was wonderful! Not quite the same as my friend's but really good!
