Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In another large bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apples and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-55 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 for 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, slice and serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch. Enjoy Connie's Apple Cake with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!
