Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Mix well until the sugar is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar and oil mixture, stirring until smooth after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optional: Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.

Step 11

Slice and serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
