This is one of those recipes that is a real surprise! Who would have thought pinto beans could make a great cake? Well, obviously my Appalachian mountain ancestors did. Don't let the name discourage you. Give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Steps:
- CREAM butter and sugar together.
- ADD mashed beans and egg. (NOTE: If using canned beans, be sure to rinse and strain beans before mashing. If you make your own pot of beans, strain before mashing. DO NOT USE BEANS WITH MEAT!)
- SIFT dry ingredients into the mashed mixture.
- STIR in nuts and apples. Don't over mix.
- POUR into a 9 or 10 inch greased and floured tube pan. Bake in pre-heated 350-degree oven for one-hour or until done. Inserting toothpick that comes out nearly clean indicates 'done'. Cool about 20 minutes then invert while still warm and set on cake plate.
- DRIZZLE icing over cake while cake is still warm. If icing is too thick, make thinner by adding more milk. Allow cake to completely cool before serving.
