Pecan and Apple Cake

As tought by Helen Corbitt to her mens cooking class.
This is easy and always good. The "batter" is so thick that I mix it with the dough hook on mixer.

2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 teaspoons good vanilla
Beat 2 eggs: add juice of 1/2 lemon and 1 teaspoon salt
Add this to the sugar and oil.
Mix 3 cups flour and
1 1/2 teaspoon soda and add to above.
Then add 3 cups of chopped apples (use tart types such as Granny smith or winesap) and
1 1/2 cups or more broken pecans
Spoon into buttered bundt or angel food pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for about an hour (+ or -).
Let cool before de-panning.

Drizzle with Sherry glaze.
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup sherry brought to a boil.

Or use a lemon glaze:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
