Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and emulsified.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Optionally, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.

Step 10

Slice into squares or rectangles, and serve. Enjoy your Apple Sugar Cake!
