The Best Fresh Apple Cake You’ll Ever Taste

Fresh Apple Cake Recipe

Here’s a simple and delicious fresh apple cake recipe that you’ll love.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
• ½ cup pecans or walnuts
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vegetable oil (or melted butter) and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
4. Combine the ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the apples: Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts until evenly distributed. This will give your fresh apple cake a delicious texture and flavor.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Note:

For optimal flavor, it is recommended to use Granny Smith apples for a slightly tart taste, or Gala apples for a sweeter, milder flavor. Enjoy this fresh apple cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
