Cinnamon Apple Cake
Moist, spiced apple cake made with cinnamon, brown sugar, and walnuts. A cozy dessert that’s perfect for family gatherings or weeknight treats!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large apple peeled and chopped
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the cinnamon, both sugars, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and slightly thickened.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
- Stir in the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until the batter is smooth and no streaks of flour remain.
Step 4: Fold in Apples and Nuts
- Gently fold in the chopped apple and walnuts. The apples provide moisture and sweetness, while the walnuts add a satisfying crunch.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
