Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or a bundt pan.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

In another bowl, beat together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve the cake as is, or dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra treat.
