Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt using a fork.
In a medium bowl, combine the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat lightly with a fork until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use the fork to mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Fold the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve!
