Rustic Apple Walnut Cake
Back to Recipe Archive
An apple-fest featured recipe. The rustic character of this very moist cake is especially suited to the BIG BASSETTI APPLE!
Big slices of apple and walnut halves give the cake an eye catching appeal.

2 eggs
½ cup Canola oil or other high quality vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teas salt

1 teas. vanilla
1 cup walnut halves
2 cups unbleached white flour
