How to Make Mom's Buttery Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a small bowl, gently combine the diced apples with a tablespoon of the flour mixture to help prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chopped nuts (if using).
  7. Fold in the apples.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
