Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. salad oil
- 2 c. sugar
- 2 lg. eggs
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. soda
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla

Method
Prepare raw apples and set aside. Measure salad oil into large
mixing bowl. Add sugar and eggs. Beat until creamy on low speed
with electric mixer. Sift flour and measure. Sift again and add
salt, soda and baking powder. Add a small amount of the flour
mixture at a time to the creamed mixture. Beat well after each
addition. When all flour has been added, or when batter becomes
very stiff, remove electric mixer. Fold in chopped pecans and
apples. Spread evenly into a 9"x13" pan (or 2 - 9" pans) lined with
wax paper.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 55 or 60 minutes. Turn onto
cake rack, remove wax paper, cool and frost.

together until well blended. Add 1/4 cup milk and 1 box of
confectioners' sugar. Mix and add just enough milk to spread.
