Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Apples (peeled and diced)
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Caramel sauce (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer (about 3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts gently with a spatula.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 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 for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cake, letting it run down the sides for a sticky finish.

Step 11

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