Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large (100g) eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 3 cups (450g) fresh apples, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp (8g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 250g flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until no clumps remain.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale, then whisk in the vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until velvety.
- Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir with a spatula just until the streaks of flour disappear.
- In a separate bowl, toss diced apples with 1 tablespoon of flour and nutmeg. Gently fold the apples into the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
