¼ teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

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!

BEST MOIST APPLE CAKE



Best Moist Apple Cake image

Best apple cake we've ever eaten. I've taken three recipes and combined them to create what my family now requests for birthdays! We think the cake is better once it sits for awhile. Even refrigerated and then heated back up, the flavors seem to really stand out. You can substitute pecans for the walnuts.

Time 1h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ¼ cups vegetable oil
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 apples, thinly sliced
1 ½ cups finely chopped walnuts
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
¼ cup milk
½ cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Whisk oil, white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into sugar mixture; fold apples and 1 1/2 cups walnuts into batter. Pour batter into a 10x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake is set, about 1 hour. Pierce surface of cake in several places with a large fork.

Tips:

  • Use the right type of apples: Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Honeycrisp apples are all good choices for apple cake because they hold their shape well when baked and have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Apple cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and tart apples, apple cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
