MY MOM'S OTHER SOFT APPLE CAKE (IN A TUBE PAN)



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

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.
