Instructions
Step 1
Mix together 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of vegetable oil. Add 3 eggs and beat well.
Step 2
Blend in 3 cups of sifted flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Step 3
Stir in 3 cups of peeled, chopped apples, 2 cups of coconut, 1 cup of chopped dates (or 1 cup of chopped coconut if using as an alternative), and 1 cup of chopped pecans. The batter will be thick.
Step 4
Spoon the batter into a 9-inch or 10-inch tube pan which has been greased and floured.
Step 5
Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6
For the caramel sauce, heat ingredients (milk, butter, and packed brown sugar from the ingredient list are likely for this sauce) together in a saucepan and boil for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and immediately pour the prepared caramel sauce over it, allowing it to soak in.
Step 8
Cool the cake completely before removing it from the pan.
