Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and emulsified.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Slice into squares or rectangles, and serve. Enjoy your Apple Sugar Cake!
