Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Step 3
In another large bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the diced apples and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cool, slice and serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch. Enjoy Connie's Apple Cake with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!
