Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.5 cups Walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts using a rubber spatula, making sure the apples are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Extreme Apple Cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
