Apple Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or olive oil)
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all purpose flour (sifted)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 cups apples (cored, peeled, and diced)
• 1/2 cup pecans (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1

   Use 9×9 inch square baking pan. Or, double the recipe and use 9×13 inch square pan.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, using electric mixer, beat eggs and sugars for about 5 minutes on high speed until light in color and creamy. Add oil, milk, and vanilla extract and continue beating for 2 more minutes.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

5. 5

   Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix with a spoon or fork.

6. 6

   Fold in 2 cups of chopped apples and chopped pecans into the cake batter.

7. 7

   Grease a 9×9 square pan with butter, and pour the cake batter into the pan. It might look to you like you have too little batter – don’t worry, this cake rises a lot. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of chopped apples over the cake.

8. 8

   Combine white sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Sprinkle sugar-cinnamon mixture over the cake.

9. 9

   Bake for 50 or 60 minutes or until the tooth pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
