📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round or square cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder (if using).

3. In a separate bowl, combine the grated apple, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

4. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice and serve the cake as is, or dust with powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
