German Apple Cake

German Apple Cake

Combine until creamy
4 extra large eggs
2 cups sugar
add
1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Sift together
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine the above mixtures.

By hand add
4 pippin apples (4 cups or so), thinly sliced
1 cup (don't bother chopping) walnuts

Put in a 33 x 23 x 5 cm pan.
13 x 9 x 1 inch

Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees
After cake has cooled cover with plastic film. I like the softer texture.

FROSTING

Beat until smooth
8 oz. (yep the whole package) cream cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter
add
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
Don't frost the cake ahead of time. Take the frosting (in the mixing bowl) and a spatula. Then when you arrive where the cake will be served frost it. Otherwise you will have dark specks all over it.
