Easy Apple Cake
Description
Grab some ice cream—especially vanilla, if you have it. Drizzle a bit of caramel syrup on top, spread on a dark apple butter, or go with candied pecans and whipped cream. For a lighter take, simply dust confectioners’ sugar over the top.
Ingredients
- 1-3/4 cups sugar
- 1 cup canola oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups finely chopped peeled tart apples
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1-1/4 cups whipped topping
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and baking soda; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended. Fold in apples and walnuts.
- Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with whipped topping.
