Ingredients
- 200 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
- 120 milliliters vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 medium, peeled and diced apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 100 grams chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning, then gently fold the apples and chopped walnuts into the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, leveling the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve the cake on its own, or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream, as desired.
