Tickling Our Tastebuds

by Denise Valentine

Hello everyone…another successful Community Show has come and
gone. We had some rain throughout the weekend (imagine that) but
overall had a lot of community spirit and support for the events that took
place. The sale of baked goods from the adult division, as well as the
junior and youth departments, set a record with nearly $18,000 collected
from bidders. Congratulations to all winners! Thank you to everyone
who took the time to enter in the show. We are so grateful for all of the
entries. After disbursements are made to some non-profit organizations,
the balance of the money will be used to help pay premiums and keep
the Community Show financially strong for future. Deb Spalding was on
hand with her camera, so look for her photos of the baked goods auction
winners in The Catoctin Banner or online at TheCatoctinBanner.com.
We are in the peak of apple season, so I decided to share an apple cake
recipe with you this month. It would also be a great dessert to have for a
Halloween party or fall festival.

Apple Cake

Ingredients

3 cups flour 1 cup chopped nuts (I like to use walnuts)

2 cups sugar ¼ tsp. nutmeg

3 cups diced apples 1¼ cup cooking oil
¼ tsp. cinnamon 3 eggs

1 tsp. salt 2 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. soda

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, sugar, diced apples,
all dry ingredients and the nuts. Combine the oil, eggs and vanilla.
Mix together. Pour into a greased and floured pan. Bake for 1 – 1½
hours.

***This recipe found in “an aged” cookbook from St. John’s Lutheran
Church in Creagerstown.
