Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 1 cup walnuts (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with the butter and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until no large streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix the batter.
Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to 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 before serving.
Slice the cake into squares or desired shapes and serve. Enjoy!
