Country Apple Cake

Ingredients:
3 Cups all purpose flour
2 Tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1 Tsp. ground ginger
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cups vegetable oil
8 TBSP. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 Tsp vanilla extract
3 cups coarsely chopped shredded, peeled tart green apples (3 medium)
1 cup (4 ounces) chopped walnut
Butterscotch Butter Cream frosting

Instructions:
1. Adjust two racks in the oven so that they are evenly spaced. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease three 8-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms with rounds of waxed paper: grease and flour, tapping out the excess flour.

2. In a medium-size bowl stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

3. In large bowl combine the sugar, vegetable oil, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture then the apples and walnuts.

4. Divide the batter (it will be thick) among the three pans, smoothing the tops. Firmly tap them on a surface to level.

5. Bake until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted near the center emerges clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

6. Cool in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, invert onto racks, and turn all right side up. Peel off paper and cool cakes completely.

7. Brush crumbs from cakes place one layer, right side up, on a serving plate. Spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Add another layer and spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Add the top layer. Using the remaining frosting to frost top and sides. Chill if desired.
