Ingredients

Cake:

  • Butter, for greasing pan
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups peeled and finely chopped apples
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease a tube pan.

For the cake: in a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, oil, orange juice, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract; and mix well. Fold apples, coconut, and pecans into batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.

Shortly before the cake is done, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large saucepan, stir in the sugar, buttermilk, and baking soda, and bring to a good rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the hot cake in the pan as soon as you remove it from the oven. Let stand 1 hour, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

    If you didn't like your cake...... well let's just say 'it's the archer not the arrow'.
    This cake is AMAZING--blue ribbon winning. Not all cakes are light and fluffy, this one is dense and deeeeelish. A dollop of crème fraiche on top would cut the sweetness if that's an issue for you.
    And as for the oil and butter..... IT'S A SOUTHERN PAULA DEEN CAKE, PEOPLE!!! Eat a small piece and then don't sit on the couch. Life is common sense and balance.

    The last time I made this there wasn't even a crumb left on the cake stand and everyone else's cakes were sitting there looking sad and whole. =+

    I was so excited to try this recipe, but was horribly disappointed by how it came out. I always read the reviews to note any modifications, and for this cake I did cut the sugar by half. However, the cake came out SO OILY. It was terrible. Basically inedible. I'm shocked no one else has mentioned the inordinate amount of oil called for in this recipe. I will try it again, but will cut the oil down to 1/2 cup and maybe add a little applesauce to keep it moist.

    I have a deli and bake alot of scratch made cakes. Had some apples in the frig. and needed to use them before they went bad. Came across this recipe and I love doing one bowl recipes for the simply fact, less dishes to clean! This cake is absolutely decadent! I am in love :
