GRANDMA'S FRESH COUNTRY APPLE CAKE

Yum! Melissa's apple cake recipe has simple ingredients and doesn't require any fancy equipment. We love those types of old-fashioned recipes. This cake uses shredded apples that add a lot of moisture to the cake. Full of cinnamon flavor, it's dense and tender at the same time. Pecans add a nice crunch, but if you don't love nuts...

  • Grease and flour a 9.5-inch cake springform pan. You can also line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract with your hand mixer in a large bowl. Add the egg and beat again.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the mixture to the liquid ingredients in small increments while using your hand mixer (and later your hands) on a low setting to avoid the flour from making a mess. You'll have to stop using your mixer about halfway through since the dough will become quite sticky. Just use your hands for the last bit and make sure not to overmix! Stop once everything is well combined and there are no lumps.
