• 2 eggs

• 2 cups (475 ml) flour
• 2 tsp (10 ml) ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp (5 ml) soda

• chopped nuts, optional

1. Beat eggs until foamy.
2. Add the oil and sugar and hand stir.
3. Add the dry sifted ingredients.
4. Fold in the apples and nuts, do not stir hard, you have to keep the little air bubbles in the batter safe!
5. Bake in a 9x13 inch cake pan at 350 degrees (175 C.) for 60 minutes.
6. Cool the cake and ice it.
7. As an optional garnish, you can sprinkle more chopped nuts on top of the icing.
8. Cream together the cream cheese and the butter, carefully to keep it from warming up too much.
9. It needs to be a cool room temperature.
10. Add the other ingredients and blend well, using cold milk as needed to give you the consistency you life.
11. (We like ours thicker, and a touch of milk goes a LONG way, so be careful).
