You can see a different version of the cake (using less sugar) here ua-cam.com/video/JkAsoQa22zI/v-deo.html Here's the original recipe I made this recipe for the first time back in August 2009! Helen Corbitt's "Another Apple Cake"... As I mentioned in the video is it SUPER sweet so feel free to halve the sugar (or use even less...). You could also add cinnamon or other spices to change it up. Mix together ½lb sugar / 225 g 6 fl ozs vegetable oil / 170 millilitres 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 egg juice of ½ a lemon (not essential) ½ teaspoon salt Mix in 6 oz flour / 170 millilitres 1 teaspoon bicarb soda 6 ozs (2 medium sized) cooking apples, chopped finely 4 ozs walnuts (I don't use them, don't like nuts in cakes!) Pour into a buttered angel cake tin with funnelled base. Bake at 375f, gas mark 5, 175 celcius for 1 hour or until a skewer or cake tester comes out clean. Serve plain or with lemon glaze (4 oz sugar with 1 fl oz lemon juice, bring to boil, cool and pour over cake).
Just love and admire your attitude about cooking/baking...."just use what you have". 😁 You give us all permission to just relax and don't worry about perfection. That is sooo difficult for me. I love to cook/bake and am noted for being a good one. Truly a blessing and a curse.🥴 I could be several sizes too large. 🤣 I'm careful not to overindulge. I always feel pressure to make everything delicious and "perfect". I've learned to tell myself and family/guests "we'll hope it good, fortunately it's not our last meal". Lightens the mood and helps me relax.
Love your easy recipes. Thank you for sharing. Want to add you have changed my life. I love your happy disposition. I no longer wait until I can do it perfectly, just do it now. Less stress and more done. Bless you
I made this apple cake and took it to the in-laws for thanksgiving. Everyone loved it! Thanks for sharing this video. I will be adding this to my my recipe book.
Oh, those sweet note cards. I have a love for notecards and always had joy in finding stationery sets (as we called them)as a child. Okay, so 225 grams of sugar is equal to 1 cup of sugar. And 170 grams of flour is about 1 and 1/3 cup of flour. Taking notes here...I only understand cup measurements. I wish we had mature apple trees. How great that you do! DH loves apples but he does not care for cake. I do not love apples but love apple cake :) I love only english walnuts (no black please) but I do not like nuts in cake either. Mmmmm Your recipes always make my mouth water. A Hygge Fall recipe in perfect timing. I love your recipe videos~Thank you~
This is why fall is my favorite season We have 3 apple trees so I have been making goodies I used to bake an apple cake very similar to this will find the recipe and will make tomorrow The smell of fall apple cake in oven the smell of cinnamon, clove, pumpkin scented candles make my days plus the cooler temps Love your clothes swap parties
Thanks for sharing! When you mentioned the cheese it reminded me of a traditional way of eating apple pie in Vermont. They put a slice of cheddar on a warm piece and it is delicious!
Dear Diane, thanks for the lovely receipe. I have three old apple trees myself and am drowning in apples right now. So I am always looking for good and easy apple receipes.
Wonderful, Diane! I have been watching you since I "met" you through DYT, I watch your videos while I eat my breakfast smoothie bowl and then go do my Fly Lady routines :). I laughed out loud when you said you were going to make a PUPA - in Polish, your pupa is your bahookie :)!!!!
Oh Diane, I love this video! I’m going to try this recipe and I can guarantee it won’t last very long in my house! You are brilliant and inspirational! Thank you xxxx
You made this video a day too late for me! Someone gave me a big bag of cooking apples yesterday and I made a crumble, which was yummy, but I do love me a good apple cake!
❣Hi, Diane, thank you for sharing, I love your clothes swap parties, last time we got the wonderful cake of the fishers wife, this time apple cake ...I've one egg and some apples from my neighbor, something to look forward tomorrow morning...of course after the routines😉. I always use whole wheat flour, turns out wonderful. Haha, and i always LIKED walnuts, especially just on examination days, BECAUSE they look like brains, I thought that would help my brain... Hope you'll get something nice and have fun! Love, Monika❣
thanks for sharing the recipe, definitely going to try this with our homegrown apples. ooh cheddar sounds fab with it, kind of like a pimped-up digestive biscuit and cheese. Niamh in Dublin
A little cinnamon in the batter would be good. I used to make a cake like that I think in a bundt pan. I should find that recipe, it has been a long long time since I made it.
I was just thinking that I don't think I've ever seen a apple cake that didn't have cinnamon in it...I'm sure it's good anyway! Yeah, I would decrease the amount of sugar as well !
I love fall and my daughter and I actually vacationed in Copenhagen last Sept/Oct. This cake sounds wonderful. You can substitute apple sauce for the oil, which will make it extra moist and healthier.
Your apple cake looks yummy, Diane and the Scottish cheddar sounds perfect! We love a good cheese, but storing it is always a challenge. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep the cheese from getting too hard? Blessings, my friend...
Hi Diane, Thanks for sharing your beautiful home, ideas, traditions, and especially for the Flylady videos - I was NOT born organized! I just came across your apple cake recipe. I have apples that really need to be eaten soon & this looks perfect. However, I don’t have an angel food cakepan. Any suggestions?
Looks delicious! Reminds me that I need to do something with my apples (besides letting the deer eat them all!) Do Danes use cardamom a lot in recipes, or is that more of a Swedish thing? Ha- I used to have some of those personalized note cards, but mine had Holly Hobbie and Ziggy on them! 😄
What diameter and height was your cake tin? Thanks so much for sharing this fall dessert. Hugs from the U.S. I thought i remembered Helen’s history and looking up the recipe online I remembered she worked for Neiman Marcus providing recipes and menu items for their restaurants.

I know you always say you're not a cooking channel but i love when you upload these videos, especially when you share a story behind the recipe 😊

Yay, hope you enjoy it, Jane!

Yummy cheese and apple cake 🤙🏻

Thanks for the recipe, so easy and wonderful! Love from Italy😘
I made your Apple Cake today with some windfall apples, it was delicious and so easy. I will differently be making it again. Thank you.
Snap, Janet, I baked one today too! 😃🍏🍏🍏 So glad you enjoyed it!
Oh Diane, I love this video! I’m going to try this recipe and I can guarantee it won’t last very long in my house! You are brilliant and inspirational! Thank you xxxx
Caramel on top...over the top. 😋 yummy gonna give it a try this week as we have apples in as well. 💜
Thanks Diane. I will be trying this recipe. I know my family and I will enjoy it. 💕

Hi M! Funnily enough, Vibeke brought fresh walnuts for us to eat today - they were actually very nice!
Happy Poopah! That cake looks pretty good!
thanks for sharing the recipe, definitely going to try this with our homegrown apples. ooh cheddar sounds fab with it, kind of like a pimped-up digestive biscuit and cheese. Niamh in Dublin
Apples and cheddar cheese is a common snack here in the States. I would add a maple glaze rather than icing. I have made this one several times.
This looks delicious definitely going to give this a try. Also walnut whips no longer have the walnut on them no idea why though.
Ooo, thanks, Laura! I shall have to find a walnut whip next time I visit my Mum in Edinburgh!
A little cinnamon in the batter would be good. I used to make a cake like that I think in a bundt pan. I should find that recipe, it has been a long long time since I made it.
I was just thinking that I don't think I've ever seen a apple cake that didn't have cinnamon in it...I'm sure it's good anyway! Yeah, I would decrease the amount of sugar as well !
Hi Janet! I made yet another apple cake today (you can see it in today's video) and used some cinnamon. Thanks for the suggestion!
I love fall and my daughter and I actually vacationed in Copenhagen last Sept/Oct. This cake sounds wonderful. You can substitute apple sauce for the oil, which will make it extra moist and healthier.
Oh that sounds good 😍 x x x
Your apple cake looks yummy, Diane and the Scottish cheddar sounds perfect! We love a good cheese, but storing it is always a challenge. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep the cheese from getting too hard? Blessings, my friend...
Walnut whips are now sold sans walnut and just called 'Whips'. I have seen them with my own eyes.
Yay, thanks, Rose!
We keep ours in a plastic bag in the fridge.
Everything in moderation!!! 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉👍❤️😁
Helen Corbett wrote the Neiman Marcus Cookbook!
Walnuts look like brains 😄😄😄
Hi Diane,
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home, ideas, traditions, and especially for the Flylady videos - I was NOT born organized! I just came across your apple cake recipe. I have apples that really need to be eaten soon & this looks perfect. However, I don’t have an angel food cakepan. Any suggestions?
Hi! Did you watch the video? I used an ordinary cake tin. Doesn't need to be an angel cake one with a funnel 🖐😃
It called for lemon glaze. Did I read that right? So, at what point did you use lemon juice? Do you think lemon glaze adds or detracts?
You can put a lemon glaze on the top of the cake but I prefer it plain or with white icing. Your choice!
Looks delicious! Reminds me that I need to do something with my apples (besides letting the deer eat them all!) Do Danes use cardamom a lot in recipes, or is that more of a Swedish thing? Ha- I used to have some of those personalized note cards, but mine had Holly Hobbie and Ziggy on them! 😄
Oooo, yes, I had Holly Hobbie too - memories! We use cardamon at Christmas, in our Christmas donuts ua-cam.com/video/RExfIqjc43g/v-deo.html
If you like you can Add some cardamon 🥰😋
In Canada, it's common to have a piece of cheddar with apple pie.
Yay, thanks, Lynne - another vote for cheese!

I'm not at home right now but it's my standard IKEA tin which, if I remember correctly, is 20-22cms. And about 7cm high.
How did you guess 170 grms if flour? Donal Skeehan, Irish Chef with a Swedish wife makes this cake, called Sweedish Apple Pie. ❤️
Enjoy your swap party!
Whatever happened to your elderberry champagne? Did it turn out allright?
Hi, Francine, I made it like Diane said and it turned out wonderful, we were amazed ! Sparkly with a very special flowery aroma, alcohol free 🥂🍾
Yes, it was great! Truly a taste of summer!
Margrete bowl
Shhhhh, don't tell the others, Renate - they may have not done the quiz yet! 😉😀
No cinnamon?🤔
Not in this one, but I made another cake today and added cinnamon...hope the ladies enjoy it!
