Mom's Apple Cake

One of my favorite desserts! Very rich. It looks pretty ugly in the pan. I've taken it to picnics and potlucks, and people have been reluctant to take a slice, but those who dare are glad they did!

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
3 TBS brewed coffee
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups chopped apples
