How to Make Apple And Spice Cake South African

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Grease and flour a 16-20cm square cake tin. Line the bottom with baking paper and grease the paper.
3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs.
4. Add 2 cups (250g) grated apple and gently toss to combine.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
6. Add ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (115g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil to the apple and egg mixture. Mix well.
7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly.
9. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the cake cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving. Alternatively, fill 12 greased muffin cups and bake for 25-30 minutes.
