EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE



Easiest Ever MOIST Apple Cake image

A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp apples. This will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will make it easier to eat the cake and prevent the apples from browning.
  • Toss the apples with lemon juice or vinegar before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent them from turning brown.
  • Use a combination of spices in the cake batter. This will give the cake a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
