Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt using a fork.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat lightly with a fork until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use the fork to mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Fold the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or 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

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve!
