INGREDIENTS

  • Cake Base

    • ½ cup shortening
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1½ 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

  • Frosting

    • ¼ cup shortening
    • 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 🧂 1 pinch ground nutmeg
    • 🥛 ¼ cup evaporated milk

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

2

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.

3

Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

4

To make the frosting, combine shortening, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Beat until light and creamy. Beat in milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired spreading consistency is achieved.

5

Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve.
