FRESH APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter the bottom only of a 9x13-inch pan; set aside.
• In mixing bowl, beat all cake ingredients for 2 minutes.
• Pour into prepared pan.
• In small bowl, combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over cake batter.
• Bake for about 1 hour or when a toothpick inserted in center comes out dry.
• Note: When I make two 8-inch cakes I line the cake pans with foil.
• They don't take as long to bake.
• When the cakes have cooled I remove the cake and foil from the pan then peel the foil off the cake taking care not to disturb the crumb topping.
• This cake also freezes well.
