GOOEY APPLE SHEET CAKE
One of the best apple cakes around. It is very moist, keeps well, and has the 'icing' baked on. The topping is like a thin layer of cheesecake and is good when baked on a carrot cake too.

- Cream Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Creaming incorporates air, resulting in a light and fluffy cake.

- Mix Dry Ingredients Separately: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl before adding to the wet ingredients.
- Alternate Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk. Begin and end with dry ingredients to avoid overmixing.
- Stir Just Until Combined: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix only until no dry ingredients are visible.
- Pour Batter into Prepared Pan: Use a greased and floured 9x13 inch pan to ensure the cake doesn't stick.
- Bake at Proper Temperature: Bake the cake at the specified temperature and time. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let Cake Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving.
