Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 units Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Fresh apples, peeled and diced
- 0.75 cups Chopped pecans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the diced fresh apples and chopped pecans (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar (optional) before slicing and serving.
