Josephine DeMarco - Chicago, Illinois
Bake-Off® Contest 27, 1976 Prize Winner
In the 1970s, homespun desserts edged out earlier elaborate dessert entries. Caramel and apple was a popular flavor combination. This family favorite apple-nut sheet cake shows why.

   1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon baking powder
   1/2 teaspoon baking soda
   1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
   3 eggs
   1 1/2 cups (2 to 3 medium) finely chopped peeled apples
   1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts
   1/2 cup raisins, if desired
   
   FROSTING
   2 cups powdered sugar
   1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
   1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted
   1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
