Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or wooden spoon
- 9 × 13-inch baking pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups 250 g all-purpose flour
- 1 cup 200 g granulated sugar
- ½ cup 110 g light brown sugar
- ½ cup 120 ml vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs 100 g
- 1 teaspoon 5 g baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons 4 g ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon 0.5 g ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon 3 g salt
- 2 teaspoons 10 ml vanilla extract
- 3½ –4 cups 450–500 g peeled and chopped apples
- ½ cup 60 g chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Step 1
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 × 13 inch (23 × 33 cm) baking pan with butter or oil so the cake comes out easily after baking.
Step 2
- Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a large bowl. Stir everything together until the spices are evenly mixed into the flour.
Step 3
- In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture looks smooth and the eggs are well blended.
Step 4
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until a thick batter forms, taking care not to over mix it.
Step 5
- Add the peeled, chopped apples and chopped walnuts or pecans. Fold them into the batter until the apple pieces and nuts are spread evenly throughout.
Step 6
- Pour the batter into the greased baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners, then gently tap the pan on the counter to release any large air pockets.
Step 7
- Bake for 45–55 minutes at 350°F (175°C), until the top is golden brown. Check the center with a toothpick; the cake is ready when it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
- Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes. Cut into 12 servings and enjoy warm or at room temperature with a cup of tea or coffee.
