Chocolate Apple Pecan Cake

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease an 8 inch springform pan. Line the base with a circle of wax paper. Sift the flour, baking soda and cocoa together. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the center. Set aside 1 apple; peel and grate the others. Place the apples, eggs, pecans and oil in the well of the flour and stir together gradually. Spoon into the pan and smooth the top. Bake about 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, then loosen the clip on the pan to remove the cake. Cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar. Slice the apple and arrange it on top just before serving. Serves 8
