Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg powder (optional)
• 1.5 cups Apple, peeled and grated
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round or square cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder (if using).

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the grated apple, vegetable oil, milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the cake as is, or dust with powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
