Mix the sugar and chopped apples and set aside. In a large bowl beat the eggs lightly, add the oil and the vanilla mixing well. In a separate bowl mix the salt, flour, soda and cinnamon, stir with a whisk to mix. Add the egg mixture and the flour alternately to the apples and sugar and mix well (by hand). Add the raisins toward the last mixes of the flour. Stir till all the flour is moist. This will be a very dense feeling batter. Pour into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan, spreading evenly. Bake 350F for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let stand in the pan to cool. Frost with Lemon Frosting. Lemon-Lemon Frosting: In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mix well adding additional sugar if needed to make a creamy frosting. This frosting is versatile and wonderful. It goes well on soft sugar cookies, gingersnaps, spice cake and much much more! Innkeeper's Comment: "One of the baking books* I turn to constantly refers to this kind of cake as a "neighborhood cake", a term that I just love because it evokes that come together feel that a good cake and a cup of coffee at 4 in the afternoon embodies. When the children were still in school I loved having something ready for them to snack on when they got home that was sweet yet healthy. This cake fits the bill and is a hit when it graces the sideboard at the inn on a sunny spring afternoon. Combine bright flavors with incredibly easy to make and you have a sure winner. Thanks Joanna (my sister) for this stellar recipe." *I find myself constantly turning to "the Sweet Kitchen", by Regan Daley for both recipes and inspiration. It is a must have for any cook who loves to create sweet things. I am not sure if this is where the term neighborhood cake comes from or not, I couldn't locate it when I went looking but it is a good guess.
