Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda

• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.75 cup Pecans (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with the unsalted butter, ensuring all corners and edges are coated.

Step 3

In the baking pan, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, using a fork to mix them evenly directly in the pan.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the well.

Step 5

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together with a fork or spatula until a uniform batter forms.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.

Step 7

Smooth the top of the batter with the spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Transfer the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Cut into squares and enjoy the cake warm or at room temperature.
