Using the same castle mold I bought at Wal-Mart, I made this recipe, for our sister-in-law's birthday.   I was worried the apples, may leave holes in the turrets, but it came out perfectly again.  Also, I really recommend Pam with Flour.

   | Title: Old World Fresh Apple Butter Cake 
 Description:
 My Mother made this every fall during apple harvest time.   It is often my choice for my birthday cake.
 
 Ingredients:
 1 cup butter
 2 cups sugar
 3 eggs
 3 cups flour
 1 1/2 tsp. soda
 1/2 tsp. salt
 1 tsp. cinnamon
 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
 2 tsp. vanilla
 3 cups peeled grated apples
 2 cups chopped walnuts
 
 Directions:
 In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until well mixed.   Gradually add the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.   Stir in vanilla.   Fold in apples and walnuts.
 
 Pour into a greased tube pan or bundt pan.   Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes.  Cool 15 minutes.  Glaze if desired.    I don't.  I did  sprinkle powdered sugar on it, so the castle looked like it had freshly fallen snow on it.

You are most welcome! Glad it turned out, even if I forgot how much flour is needed. I'll try it again soon with 3 cups of flour.
