German Apple Cake

I modified the original recipe according to my tastes. The taste testers (work peeps) agree that this was good. I double the recipe for work so had to bake for approximately 55-60 mins. Please refer to the bottom of the page for the original recipe

Ingredients:
2 Eggs
2 cups flour

1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1tsp cinnamon +1 tsp apple pie spice (or 2 tsp ground cinnamon)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
4 cups apples (peeled and thinly sliced) - I do about 2-3

How to make: 

1. Preheat Oven to 350 F. Grease and flour the pan you are going to use. 
2. In a bowl, add flour + salt+ baking pwd + cinnamon and mix well to combine
3. Beat oil + sugar + eggs until smooth. Add vanilla + buttermilk and beat until combined
4. Add the flour to this mixture in 3 additions and use mix well using a spatula. The batter will be very thick and hard to stir. Build those muscles! 
5. Fold in the apples and build more arm muscles
6. Bake for 40 mins (I found this was enough) but go to 45 or until the stick inserted in the center comes out clean
