Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, chopped)
• 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans (chopped, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using), distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar (optional) before slicing and serving.
