2 1\2 cups flour
2 cups dry shredded coconut
1 cup sugar (the original recipe calls for 1 3\4 cups, but to my taste 1 cup was more than enough)
1\2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
- mix all dry ingredients
add:
1 cup oil
2 cups milk, juice or water
3 eggs, beaten
3 apples, roughly grated
Mix well and bake approx. 40 minutes at medium heat. Enjoy!

Oooh! Two of my favorite ingredients, but not ones I would have thought to pair. Thanks, Anna!
These look delicious! I always love your recipes, Anna. What is medium heat? Like 350 degrees F?

Sounds good. And I love the new green colour of your blog!
I've noticed in many of your recipes you cut way back on the sugar. When I do this my goods come out dry because sugar helps baked goods retain moisture. Do you ever have this problem?
This looks like a great quick cake, I'll look forward to trying it this fall. Thanks for sharing and translating the recipe.
I cut waaay back on sugar in recipe books, because of unnecessary carbohydrates and often add extra complex carbohydrates like wheat germ and buckwheat flour, especially when the cake has a strong-tasting element such as chocolate-coffee in a Jewish coffecake, or the ground nutmeats in a nutbread or pumpkin puree in bar-type cookies. It's part of the silent campaign against emergence of diabetes mellitus type-2.
Anna, what can you think of to make with zucchini? Here in mid-eastern USA, a gift of these squash turns up anywhere and everywhere from simply appearing on a porch, to showing up at the local soup kitchen, and co-workers bring in fresh supplies daily.
To the one who asked about cutting back on sugar: I always do it and have no problems. I've found that dryness has more to do with over-baking. Perhaps if you noticed your cakes tend to come out dry when you add less sugar, they need just a tiny bit less time in the oven??
Ooh, zucchini is one of my favorite veggies precisely because it's so versatile! We don't get ours for free but we do get them very cheaply now. I make zucchini latkes, zucchini quiches, sometimes I simply sautee them with some onions and tomato sauce and serve as a side dish. I even made zucchini salad/dip once, similar to my eggplant dip. I've heard people make zucchini bread and cakes, too.
Love the zucchini suggestions!
