Kristie writes - "I actually have a recipe that has been in my family for about a hundred years. It is an apple cake recipe, and it is an incredibly dense cake . I noticed a similar recipe on your website, but since mine isn't exactly the same I thought I would submit it to you. The secret to mine is the brown sugar and baking the cake in a cast iron skillet".
Talking about cast iron it was interesting to read on catfish gumbo's blog spot - HEAVY DUTY DECOYS - No one would make duck decoys out of cast iron, right? Wrong. The idea seems preposterous, yet hunters of the past often used them. These flat-bottomed birds, each weighing as much as 30 pounds, were set on the wings of sink boxes to provide stability and to keep the boxes flush with the water’s surface.

| Ingredients |
| 1 cup white sugar |
1 cup brown sugar |
| 1 tsp soda |
2 tsp cinnamon |
| 2 sticks margarine (16 tblsp) |
1 cup walnuts |
| 1 cup apples chopped |
2 cups flour |
| 1 tsp vanilla (mexican vanilla is the best) |
2 eggs |
| 4 tbsp buttermilk |
| |
| | | Directions | Mix all ingredients together. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. This cake turns out best when baked in a cast iron skillet. The cast iron skillet creates a little bit of crusty outershell, much like cornbread baked this way. This cake is great with a hot cup of coffee, cold milk and good company!!
