Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 4 cups apples chopped, no need to peel
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 eggs well beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*F.
  • Grease and flour a bunt pan or angle food cake pan.
  • Stir flour, baking soda and cinnamon together in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine chopped apples, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and nuts. Stir until well combined.
  • Add in flour mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  • Pour (or scoop- the batter is a bit thick) into prepared pan.
  • Bake 50-60 minutes (test with toothpick for doneness… yes I know “doneness” isn’t a word!).
  • Cool before removing from pan.
  • Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Notes

Cake will keep well (if covered) at least 2 days (maybe 3, but I always eat it before then).
