Ingredients

• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup orange juice
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 5 large Rome Beauty apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Prepare Apples: In a medium bowl, mix the chopped apples with cinnamon and ¾ cup of sugar until well coated. Set aside.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
4. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with 2 cups of sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with the vegetable oil. Mix until just combined.
6. Add Liquid Ingredients: Mix in the orange juice and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
7. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the cake batter into the bottom of the prepared tube pan. Spoon half of the apple mixture over the batter.
8. Repeat Layers: Pour the remaining batter on top of the apples, followed by the rest of the apple mixture.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes, depending on your oven. (Check for doneness with a toothpick.)
10. Cool: Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes. Carefully place a large plate over the cake and flip it onto the plate to cool completely.
