Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups apples (peeled and chopped)
- 2 cups sugar
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar and vegetable oil. Mix until well blended.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until blended.
Fold in the chopped apples and, if desired, chopped walnuts. Ensure the apples are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
