Easiest Ever MOIST Apple Cake Recipe
This Apple Cake recipe is from a reader and is a gem of a discover! The cake is de facto moist, completely spiced, and studded with tender items of contemporary apple. The batter is extremely quick to make with only a wood spoon – no electrical mixer required!
That is how the standard routine goes down: He’s technically not allowed into the kitchen – albeit my home is open plan so strictly talking, it’s onerous to have a transparent boundary that he wants to remain out of. However once I shoo him away, he’s typically fairly good about taking himself off into the yard to chase rabbits, bark at birds or no matter different necessary contribution he’s making to make this world a greater place.
However the minute no matter I’m making is prepared and I take it to the world the place I shoot my images, he comes dashing inside.
“Dashing” is actually the phrase. He doesn’t stroll or lope. He dashes at a really quick paced trot, his heavy footed paws thudding by the home making the wood ground shake (actually, he does).
And that’s when he turns into an actual nuisance. As a result of I’m concentrating on taking images, I don’t at all times handle to catch him within the act of photo-bombing.
THAT CHEEKY BUGGER!!!
See look. Right here he’s AGAIN. And once more. And once more. GRRRRR!!!!!
This simple Apple Cake recipe was given to me by the beautiful Dorothy in Tennessee within the US. It was meant to be, as a result of I had simply shared an Apple Cake catastrophe on Instagram then a few days later, she shared this recipe with me (with out having seen my epic failure!). I attempted it as soon as, twice, 3 times, then I made a decision I needed to share it right here as a result of it’s that good and that simple!
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour , plain / all purpose (Note 1)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda (bi-carb soda) (Note 1)
- 3/4 tsp EACH salt, cinnamon and ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (or 1/4 tsp freshly ground)
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar (Note 2)
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs , large, at room temperature (55-60g/2oz each)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups apple , peeled, cored and cut into 8mm/ 1/3" cubes (~2 large, 3 small) (Note 3)
- 1/2 cup flaked raw almonds
- Icing sugar . confectioners sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types).
- Grease and line a 21 cm / 9" springform cake pan. (Note 4)
- Place flour, baking soda, salt and spices in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Whisk oil and sugar in a bowl, then whisk in eggs and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a wooden spoon until JUST combined. Stir through apple (optional: add 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or other nuts).
- Pour into cake pan. Sprinkle over almonds.
- Bake for 50 minutes – 1 hr. Check at 50 minutes – it is cooked when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar if using, then serve. This cake doesn’t need cream or ice cream because it is so moist, but I wouldn’t turn it down!
Notes
1. Flour – can use wholemeal/wholewheat but reduce by 2 tablespoons.
Self raising flour – can sub flour with self raising flour, but skip baking soda.
Baking powder – can sub bi carb with baking powder, use 4 tsp. If you do this, do NOT use self raising flour in place of flour (because self raising flour already has baking powder in it!)
2. Sugar – Use white or loosely packed brown or light brown sugar. Not dark brown sugar and not raw sugar.
3. Apples – Use Granny Smith or tart red apples, but not extremely sweet apples. Also, do not use canned apples for this because the juice in the can makes this cake less moist. Also do not be tempted to grate the apple instead of chopping it – I tried that and again, that too made the cake less moist.
4. My easy way of lining cake pans – see beginning of the Easy Chocolate Fudge Cake video.
5. Recipe source – This is a reader recipe, from the lovely Dorothy in Tennessee, US. By popular demand, here is the original recipe! It is made for a bundt pan. Follow the directions of the recipe but use these quantities and make it in a bundt pan.
1 1/2 cups. vegetable oil 2 1/2 cups sugar (I reduced to 2 cups)3 eggs, beaten2 tsp vanilla3 cups sifted flour1 tsp EACH baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves3 cups peeled and chopped fresh apples1 cups chopped nuts (I use walnuts)
5. Measures – Cups and teaspoons are slightly different in size between some countries. For most recipes on RecipeTin Eats, the difference is not large enough to matter or is relative throughout the recipe. For recipes where the difference does matter, different measures are provided for different countries, like in this Soft Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
For this Apple Cake, the measures per the recipe can be used no matter which country you are in except Japan. If you are in Japan, please do not use cups, use the weight measures provided.
OVENS: I have a fan forced / convection oven but have made this in a standard / conventional oven too. I found that this recipe works better using the same temperature no matter which oven type you have. The only difference is the cook time – fan forced is ready at 50 minutes, standard oven is ready at 60 minutes. But no matter which oven you have, check your cake at 50 minutes. If your oven is weak, it may take over 1 hour for the skewer to come out clean.
6. Nutrition per serving, assuming 12 servings.
