Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup black walnuts, chopped
- 3 cups apples, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and oil mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped black walnuts and diced apples gently using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
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 let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
