Apple Bourbon Cake

New york is apple country and this cake recipe is courtesy of the state's apple growers group. i am tucking it away to make for thanksgiving but thought i would share it in the meantime. My own version will probably include less sugar as we don't like things quite so sweet. please note the preparation time include an hour of soaking time.

Steps

Place the chopped apples and bourbon in a large resealable bag an shake a bit.
Let sit for 1 hour , occasionally tossing a bit to insure that all of the fruit gets well seasoned.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Prepare an 13x9 inch inch baking pan with a light coating of cooking spray.
Set aside.
In a large bowl , beat together the sugar , oil and eggs using a electric mixer or a whisk.
In a separate bowl , mix together the flour , baking soda , cinnamon , salt , nutmeg , and cloves.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet , mixing thoroughly.
Add in the chopped apples , bourbon and walnuts by hand.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serve warm or cold with whipped cream , ice cream or frozen yogurt.
