I have a favorite apple cake recipe...It is taken from the "The Nashville Cookbook" published in 1977...The recipe was from Eva Redmon and was distributed at a homecoming in East Tennessee.... I usually double the recipe, and make extra, because the cake disappears like magic in a day!!! (with or without company!) I usually make it without raisins or nuts. Enjoy, Ann
