Apple Cake (with Orange Glaze)

Another Bundt style cake.  This one is amazing!  I think I’m in love with the Glaze.  We were licking the bowl!  The apples in this cake are not at the forefront in texture, I think they just increase the moisture.  So very good!

There was a point while making the icing that I doubted myself; wondering if Grandma meant actual “icing” with these added ingredients.  Her recipe doesn’t indicated icing “sugar”.  And also it just says “All Purpose” instead of “All Purpose Flour”.  I think she was writing this one down in a hurry! haha

Next time I make this cake, and I’ve had a request for a next time already :), I think I will let the icing harden more in the fridge… It was pretty runny!

Here is Grandma’s recipe:
