Ingredients

• 3 medium Granny Smith Apples
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into small cubes. Set them aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, eggs, and milk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold the diced Granny Smith apples and chopped walnuts (if using) into the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

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 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
