Here’s a classic Homemade Apple Cake recipe that’s moist, spiced just right, and perfect for any season—especially fall.

🍎 Homemade Apple Cake Recipe

✅ Ingredients:

Dry:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

• ½ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

Wet:

• 1 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)

• 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar

• 3 large eggs

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Fruits & Nuts:

• 3 cups peeled and chopped apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji work great)

• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or a bundt pan.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla.

4. Combine Wet & Dry
   Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix.

5. Fold in Apples & Nuts
   Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).

6. Bake
   Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool & Serve
   Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or room temp—great with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

🔁 Optional Add-ons:

• Drizzle with a simple glaze (powdered sugar + milk + vanilla)

• Add raisins or dried cranberries for a fruity twist

• Substitute half the oil with applesauce for a lighter version
