Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized apples (peeled or not-peeled, you choose:-)) Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, or Fuji
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) canola oil
  • 2 cups (280g) rising flour OR 2 cups of all-purpose flour mixed with two teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • oil for greasing the pans
  • powdered sugar for garnish  optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C and grease the pans with oil.
  • Using a box grater, select the larger holes and grate the apples. Place the grated apples in the bowl.
  • Add eggs, sugar, and oil and whisk together.
  • Add the rising flour, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and enjoy.

Notes

Properly measure the ingredients: Accurate measurements are crucial for baking. 
Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined. 
Prepare the baking pan properly: Grease and flour the pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. The cake is done if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs clinging to it. If there is wet batter on the toothpick, continue baking for a few more minutes.
Allow the cake to cool properly: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allowing it to cool completely before slicing ensures it retains its shape and prevents it from crumbling.
