Apple Pecan Cake

We went apple picking a few weeks ago, and there are still a ton of apples I have yet to use. I saw this apple cake recipe on Pinterest a while back, and decided to give it a go. It was really simple- and apparently the best cake I've ever made according to my husband.

INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 3 cups peeled and chopped apples

Frosting:

• 1 stick of butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

In a large mixing bowl combine oil, sugar and eggs. Add in the flour and baking soda. Stir to combine. Add in the vanilla, pecans and apples, mix well. Add to a greased 9x13 baking dish and bake for about 45 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean). Allow to cool.

To make frosting, in a sauce pan combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, allow to boil for 2 minutes. Set pan in a bowl filled with ice water, and beat for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes spreading consistency. Spread over the top of the cake.

This really was one of the easiest, tastiest cakes I've ever baked. And Im sure you can replace the apple with other kinds of fruit too. This would be amazing as a blueberry cake... Oh, I know what I'm doing next! Cheers!
