Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vegetable oil and mix well.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold the diced apples into the batter using a spatula. If using nuts, fold them in as well.
  8. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

[‘Choose firm, fresh apples for the best texture and flavor.’, ‘If the cake starts browning too quickly on top, tent it with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.’, ‘Adjust sugar slightly if using sweeter apple varieties.’, ‘For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans.’]
