A scrumptious, moist cake recipe made lower in fat by replacing some of the fat with orange juice concentrate. Great for potlucks or family gatherings.

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Prepare 10-inch (25cm) bundt or tube-type pan with vegetable oil spray.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add sugar and beat well. In a small bowl, mix dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt). Add dry ingredients to egg mixture; blend well. Add in orange juice concentrate, oil and vanilla; mix together. Batter will be thick. Fold apples into batter until blended. Pour into prepared bundt pan.
• Bake for one hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the cake’s center comes out clean.
• Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully remove cake from pan. Allow cake to cool before serving.
