Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Granny Smith Apples
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into small cubes. Set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold the diced Granny Smith apples and chopped walnuts (if using) into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
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.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
