Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
½ cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup milk
2 cups apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
¼ cup shortening
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
¼ cup evaporated milk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in chopped apples.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
To make frosting, combine 1/4 cup shortening, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Beat until light and creamy. Beat in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired spreading consistency is achieved. Spread over top of cooled cake.
