Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 2 cups (256g)
  • Granulated sugar: 1 cup (200g)
  • Baking powder: 2 teaspoons (9.8g)
  • Eggs: 3 (large)
  • Vegetable oil: 1/2 cup (120ml)
  • Apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended), peeled and finely chopped: 3 cups (roughly 3 medium apples)
  • Milk: 1/4 cup (60ml)
  • Butter: 1/4 cup (56g)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting: 1/4 cup (30g)

Method

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat a baking pan with baking spray to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Mix well.
  • To the dry ingredients, add 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 3 cups of finely chopped apples. Stir until the batter is smooth and the apples are evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake cools slightly, warm 1/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan until the butter melts. Mix in additional sugar if desired for extra sweetness.
  • Drizzle this mixture over the slightly cooled cake, allowing it to soak in.
  • For a final touch, dust the cake with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar before serving.
