This cake is incredibly moist and delicious, even a few days later if it is kept well covered! Feel free to add nuts or if it is too sweet remove some of the sugar! I do everything by hand including the mixing. However, this is a pretty thick batter so if you have a mixer it will help incorporate all the ingredients quickly,

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHOPPED APPLES
  • 6 medium apples, mcintosh (or whatever kind you enjoy) peeled, cored and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 tablespoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 medium lemon juice, fresh
  • FOR THE CAKE
  • 2 3/4 cups sifted flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice, fresh
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

How To Make apple cake

  • Step 1
    Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a tube cake pan (very very well), or whatever type of pan you would like to use. Keep in mind, this is a very large and dense cake and needs room to expand without spilling over! You need 3 bowls, one large and two medium sized.
  • Step 2
    First, peel core and chop the apples and toss them with the cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice in one of the medium sized bowls. Place these aside until later.
  • Step 3
    Mix together the flour, and baking powder in the large mixing bowl. In the other medium sized bowl wisk together oil, orange juice, sugar and vanilla.
  • Step 4
    Slowly begin to combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. After these are combined being to mix in the eggs one at a time. It is important to keep scraping down the sides of the bowl to make sure that all ingredients are mixed together very well.
  • Step 5
    There are two ways to finish this recipe and put it into the oven. I like to mix the apples into the batter after it is completed. However, some websites I have seen that make a cake similar to this like to layer the apples. It is up to your personal taste! Whatever you choose, is going to be fantastic.
  • Step 6
    Stick the cake into the 350 degree oven for about 1 and a 1/2 hours, or until a cake tester comes out clean!
