Apple Cake

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1/2 cup firm tofu or 4 tablespoons corn starch mixed with 4 tablespoons water
    1 cup sugar
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 1/4 cups oil
    3 cups plain flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    4 cups apples, peeled and chopped
    2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (between gas mark 4 and 5). Oil and flour a tube pan or cup cake tin.
 
2) Beat tofu (or mix corn starch and water well). Add sugar and oil and beat for 3 minutes. When using corn starch, I do this using a whisk, but when using tofu, it's best to do this in a food processor.  Sift remaining dry ingredients together and add slowly to the creamed mixture. Add apples and vanilla.  Stir until well mixed. It will be a thick mixture. 

3) Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Leave in the pan until almost cool. 

Variation:  Use 3 cups of apples and 1 of chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, etc.
