How to Make Apple Nut Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup applesauce to the dry ingredients.
  4. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 60-minute mark.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
