Jewish Apple Cake

This recipe is one of those that you're going to use over and over again. The cake might be plain looking, but it's very soft and tasty; makes one 22-23 cm cake.

Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup sugar (I always add 1 cup)
150 ml oil
1/4 cup apple or orange juice
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Apple mixture-
3-4 apples, peeled
juice of 1/4 lemon
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Method:

Preheat oven to 170*C; prepare 22 cm cake tin, line with paper.

Slice apples, leaving one in large pieces (for top). Sprinkle with lemon juice and mix them with sugar and cinnamon.

In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add oil, juice and other flavourings; mix well. Sift flour and baking powder on top; fold in.

Pour 1/3 of this mixture in baking tin, arrange 1/2 small pieces over it, making sure they stay in centre and not on edge. Pour another 1/3 , repeat with small slices, then finally pour last 1/3 of mixture. Arrange large slices of apples on top and pour all leftover juices over them. Bake for 50 + minutes, or until inserted toothpick doesn't come out clean. Cool, dust with icing sugar and serve.

Jevrejski Kolač sa Jabukama

Ovo je jedan od onih recepata koji cete pozeljeti ponovo i ponovo koristiti. Kolac izgleda jednostavno, ali je izuzetno mekan i ukusan. Dobicete jedan 22-23 cm kolac.

Potrebno:
3 jaja
1 1/4 solje secera (ja uvijek stavim 1 solju)
150 ml ulja
1/4 solje soka od narandzi ili jabuka
2 solje brasna
2 k praska za pecivo
1/2 k soli
1 k vanila ekstrakta
Mjesavina za jabuke-
3-4 jabuke, oguljene 
1/4 solje secera
sok 1/4 limuna
1 k cimeta

Nacin:
Ukljucite renu na 170*C, pripremite 22 cm obruc (sa papirom).
Isjecite jabuke na komadice; jednu na tanke reznjeve (za povrsinu). Poprskajte limunovim sokom, zatim umijesajte secer i cimet. Ostavite po strani.
Umutite jaja sa secerom (u drugoj posudi), zatim dodajte ulje, sok i ostale arome. Prosijte brasno sa praskom za pecivo na povrsinu, pa rukom umijesajte. Uspite 1/3 ove mase u obruc, poredajte 1/2 malih komadica jabuke preko toga, pazeci da ne dodiruju stranice. Ponovite postupak - znaci opet tijesto i druga 1/2 sitnijih komada jabuka. Na kraju dolazi zadnja trecina tijesta, a preko nje poredate vece reznjeve jabuka i polijete sokovima preostalim od jabuka. Pecite 50 + minuta, ili dok cackalica ubodena ne bude suha po vadjenju. Ohladite, pospite secero u prahu i servirajte.
