"When I go to potlucks, family gatherings or on
hunting and fishing trips with my husband and son,
this cake is one of my favorite desserts to bring. The
flavorful cake stays moist as long as it lasts, which
isn't long!" - Marilyn Paradis In a mixing bowl,
combine oil and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Combine dry
ingredients; add to batter and stir well. Fold in
apples, walnuts and vanilla. Pour into a greased and
floured 10" tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2
hours or until cake tests done. Cool in pan 10
minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool completely. In
the top of a double boiler over simmering water, heat
brown sugar, cream, butter and salt until sugar is
dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Beat in
confectioner's sugar until smooth; drizzle over cake.
Sprinkle with nuts if desired.
