My mom and I discovered this recipe years ago. I can't remember where we got it, but it is sooooo good!
3 cups sifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup orange juice
1 T grated orange peel
2 cups grated unpared fresh apples
1 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1 cup flaked coconut
Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Sift flour, baking soda and cinnamon onto waxed paper. Combine sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla, orange juice and orange peel in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer until well blended. Stir in flour mixture until well mixed. Fold in apples, walnuts and coconut. Spoon into prepared tube pan. Bake in slow oven for 1 1/2 hours or until top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Transfer cake from pan to a serving plate with a raised edge. Puncture top of cake all over with a toothpick. Spoon hot Buttermilk Sauce (below) over warm cake several times. Let stand for about an hour. Pour extra sauce into a small picture and serve with cake.
