3 cups sugar
3 cups flour
3 cups peeled, cored, sliced apples
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins
1 and a half cups oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix the sugar and oil until creamy, add the eggs. Combine the dry stuff, combine with wet stuff, add the apples, walnuts, raisins. Pour results into ring pan (grease and flour pan) and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Consume with vanilla ice cream.
This recipe was originally published in the 1973 New York Times magazine and based on my results last night it has aged well. :)

I can testify to its magnificence :)
It's called 'The Teddie Cake' because:
a) It was a long-time favourite recipe of Theodore Roosevelt.
b) You wore a sexy negligee while preparing this cake.
c) You have to bake it in a teddy bear shaped pan. (It can't be this, because you didn't specify baking in a teddy bear shaped pan, so it must be a) or b).)
So, which is it??
I took another peek at the article and in fact it's called Teddie's cake. The article also mentions that there is no mention in the original article as to who exactly Teddie is/was. :)
