APPLE CAKE WITH RUM SAUCE

Category: Cakes

2 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup veg. oil
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1-1/2 tsp soda
3 cups apples (chopped or sliced thin, your choice)
Optional: raisins and walnuts (black or English)

Mix all wet ingredients together. Mix all dry ingredients together, then slowly combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. This will be a pasty batter (thick). If wanted, add raisins and/or walnuts (I love the black walnuts in it)

Spread into a 13x9 inch pan that has been floured and bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes.

You can garnish the top with powdered sugar if desired, or you can make a rum sauce and pour over the cake while it is still warm.

Rum Sauce
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp margarine
2 tbsp rum extract (or if you like the real stuff, you can use that too)

This cake is much better if you bake it a day ahead of time.
