No fall season is complete without baking at least one cinnamon-apple dessert. This easy apple cake recipe made with sweet cinnamon bakes a tender, moist cake. It\u2019s so simple to make that you\u2019ll feel as if you hardly put any time into it at all. It\u2019s a dessert the whole family will love\u2014especially with a scoop of ice cream on top!<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the sugar, canola oil, eggs and vanilla extract until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and baking soda.<\/p>\n Gradually beat the flour mixture into the sugar mixture until blended.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Stop mixing as soon as everything comes together. Overbeating will make this cake tough.<\/p>\n Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chopped apples and walnuts until they\u2019re evenly dispersed.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> You can toast the walnuts<\/a> beforehand to bring out their rich nuttiness. Be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl just to make sure everything is incorporated into the batter.<\/p>\n Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish and pour the batter into the pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool the cake on a wire rack at room temperature, and serve your apple cake slices with the whipped topping.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> When pouring the batter into the pan, make sure the batter evenly reaches all four corners.<\/p>\n Before storing, let the cake cool to room temperature. Transfer the cake to an airtight container and store it at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to five days. To serve the cake, warm it up in the microwave, covered, before topping it with homemade vanilla ice cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze apple cake for up to three months. Let it cool completely to room temperature, then cover it with two layers of storage wrap and a final layer of aluminum foil. When you\u2019re ready to enjoy it, thaw the cake in the fridge overnight or on the counter for a few hours.<\/p>\n Granny Smith apples are the go-to apples for this cake recipe, but other tart varieties, such as Braeburn and Jonathan, work well too. Or, use a mix of tart and tart-sweet apples, such as Gala or Fuji. Here’s our handy guide for choosing the best apples for baking<\/a>.<\/p>\n Grab some ice cream\u2014especially vanilla, if you have it. Drizzle a bit of caramel syrup on top, spread on a dark apple butter, or go with candied pecans and whipped cream. For a lighter take, simply dust confectioners’ sugar over the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Break out this easy apple cake recipe the next time you,\u00c4\u00f4re craving a no-fuss fall dessert.

Easy Apple Cake Tips <\/h2>
What kind of apples are best for Easy Apple Cake? <\/h3>Granny Smith apples are the go-to, but other tart varieties, such as Braeburn and Jonathan, are great, too. Or make this cake your own with a mix of tart and tart-sweet apples, such as Gala or Fuji. Here's our handy guide<\/a> for choosing which apples to use and when. \r\n
How else can you serve Easy Apple Cake? <\/h3>Grab the ice cream\u2014especially vanilla, if you have it. Drizzle caramel syrup on top, or go with nuts and whipped cream. (Here's how to make fresh whipped cream<\/a> at home.) For a lighter take, dust a bit of confectioners' sugar over top. \r\n
How do you store Easy Apple Cake? <\/h3>Keep cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To serve, warm it up in the microwave, covered, before topping with homemade vanilla ice cream<\/a>.
