How to Make Quick and Easy Apple Cake

Making this apple cake is incredibly easy and perfect for a quick fall dessert. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and preparing your 9×9-inch cake pan by greasing and flouring it. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. The cinnamon will add a warm, cozy aroma to the cake, making it the perfect fall treat.

In another bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the cake light and fluffy. Once the mixture is combined, fold in the chopped apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. This simple step will ensure your cake is perfectly baked every time. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For an added touch, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar or drizzle it with caramel sauce for extra sweetness and flavor. This easy apple cake is moist, fragrant, and perfectly balanced—ideal for any fall occasion.
