       Apple Cake
       1 3/4 cups sugar
       3 eggs
       2 cups flour
       2 teaspoons vanilla
       pinch salt
       1 cup raisins
       1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
       1/2 cup chopped nuts
       1 cup vegetable oil
       2 cups apples, peeled and chunked
       1 teaspoon baking soda
       6 tablespoons butter
       1/4 cup milk
       1/2 to 3/4 cup brown sugar
       4 cups confectioners sugar
       
       Cover raisins with water, cook for 3 minutes, drain well.
       Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 13x9 inch pan. Mix dry
       ingredients together. Make a well in the middle of the dry
       ingredients and add oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Stir
       in raisins, nuts and apples. Pour into prepared pan and bake for
       1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool before frosting. Frosting:
       Combine the 6 tablespoons butter with the 1/4 cup milk and 1/2
       to 3/4 cup brown sugar and boil for 2 minutes. Let cool. Mix in
       4 cups confectioners sugar 1 cup at a time until spreading
       consistency. After frosting, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top.
       As an option, replace the frosting with ice-cream. Mmmm.
