Apple Cake

I found this in one of my books, it was hand written and blurry, as most of my recipes tend to be. Just ingredients, no method, temperature, or baking time. I believe I got this while I was working in Antigonish, but I can’t be sure because that was more than 25 years ago.

This a close relation to a carrot cake. It is a very moist cake with more apple than cake.
