Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled and diced (about 2 medium apples)
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cool, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing into squares and serving.
