Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and stir until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients in the large bowl, mixing until just combined.
Fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the cake batter for a sweet, crumbly topping.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally paired with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
