Notes
Mrs. Barbara makes this with self rising flour. But you can use all purpose flour if you do not have self rising. Her original recipe calls for 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
Check cake at 40 minutes for doneness. Cook until golden brown. Each oven and the moisture in the apple will affect cook time. Using Granny Smith or a firm apple will produce the best results.
