German Apple Cake

(this is a fantastic recipe. I used half the sugar + a bit of honey for the scent)

Ingredients
  • eggs
  • 3⁄4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups sugar (I used 1 cup + 1-2 tablespoons honey; cake was plenty sweet, could reduce further) 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups flour 
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon (used more like 1.5 tablespoons, also added nutmeg)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups peeled chopped apples (chopped approx 1/2 inch dice)
  • (I also added a packet of TruLemon for flavor + a handful of raisins) 
Directions

In large bowl, beat eggs and oil until smooth.
Add next 6 ingredients and mix well.
Fold in apples.
Pour into greased 9 by 13 pan. (I used two smaller pans and bake time was still the same; very moist cake)
Bake at 350F degrees for 50-55 minutes.
