3cupswhite flour
1½tspbaking soda
1tspvanilla

3cupspeeled apples,chopped, (varieties that are good for baking i.e. Granny Smith, Gravenstein, Fuji)
1cupcoconut,sweetened shredded
1cupnuts,walnuts or pecans, chopped

1cupbrown sugar
3tbspmilk
Preparation
Preheat oven to 3500 degrees F.
Beat together the sugar and oil. Add the eggs. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add dry ingredients to oil sugar eggs mixture in thirds, beating to incorporate after each addition. Mix in the vanilla, apples, coconut, and chopped nuts.
Bake at 350 degrees F in a greased and floured bundt cake pan for about 1 hour. Test around the centers with a long thin bamboo skewer or toothpick to make sure the cake is done.
When cool enough to handle, gently remove from the pan. Let sit on a rack to cool completely.
If the dough has raised substantially around the middle areas of the bundt ring, use a bread knife to gently level off the cake so that it sits even.
Blend glaze ingredients and cook until melted. Place the cake on its serving dish.
Prick all around the top of the cake with a fork so that when the glaze is applied it easily seeps into the cake.
Use a pastry brush to apply the glaze liberally around the surface areas of the cake or use a spoon to dribble the glaze on the cake.
