How to Make Super Moist Fresh Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples, ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  10. Using a fork, prick holes all over the top of the cake.
  11. Slowly pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
  12. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
