How to Make Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar (or Splenda equivalent) until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs (or 4 egg beaters) one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in 6 cups peeled and diced apples (or other fruit of choice).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely before frosting (optional). Enjoy!
