Description
This apple walnut cake is moist, tender, and packed with fresh apples, cinnamon, and crunchy walnuts. It is an easy recipe for a soft cinnamon spiced snack cake.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1¾ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 medium Granny Smith apples peeled cored and chopped
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
- Whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and glossy.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until all dry flour disappears.
- Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The top should spring back lightly, and a toothpick inserted in the center must come out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven. Let it cool completely in the pan.
- Dust evenly with powdered sugar before you slice and serve.
Notes
- Keep the apple pieces slightly chunky for the best texture, avoid finely dicing them.
