👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Peel and grate your apples. Toss them with a bit of lemon juice and set aside. If you like a sweeter cake, stir in a tablespoon of brown sugar.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Add the oil and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture — don’t overmix!
Step 3: Add the Apples
Gently fold the grated apples into the batter. The moisture from the apples makes the cake incredibly soft and flavorful!
Step 4: Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Pour in the batter and spread evenly.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell like pure magic. ✨
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Let it cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar, top with nuts, or serve as-is. It’s absolutely lovely warm or at room temperature.
