How to Make Apple Walnut Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped apples, walnuts, and flour (for coating).
  7. Gently fold the apple and walnut mixture into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
