I'm thinking about making this cake. I have all the ingredients. I
am mystified regarding the last instructions about mixing. No spoon?
What could that mean? What effect?APPLE DUMP CAKE

The 1 tsp. baking soda seems not right with 3. cups flour.
I don't recall what I have used.


first spotted in Bonnie Mickelson's _ Hollyhocks and Radishes _
substantially similar recipe on-line at Recipzaar.com
under the name Apple "Dump" Cake, with some readers's comments.

1 1/2 cups sugar
[Mickelson book has 2 cups. I prefer brown.]
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
[some have substituted 1 c. applesauce for 1 c. oil]
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 cups diced apples
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins
[some regard the nuts and or raisins as optional]

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put all ingredients into a >>>large<<< bowl.
3. Mix with your hands as you would a meatloaf, gently but
thoroughly; do not use a spoon or mixer.
[I recommend wearing latex or non-latex gloves]
4. Bake in an ungreased 9x13 inch pan for 1 hour.
[some report 35 minutes was enough]
5. Cool before cutting.
