I made this cake without planning

by
  • 1/2 cup of light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for icing)

Preparation Guide

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by heating your oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures your cake cooks evenly and rises well.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of oil, 2 cups of sugar, and 4 large eggs. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to blend until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be light and slightly thick, indicating that the eggs and sugar are properly integrated.

Step 3: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, sift together 3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Sifting ensures the dry ingredients are light and smooth, helping the cake to bake evenly.

Step 4: Mix in the Apples and Pecans

Gently fold in 3 1/2 cups of chopped Granny Smith apples and 1 cup of chopped pecans. The apples add moisture and a fruity flavor, while the pecans provide a delightful crunch. Ensure the apples and pecans are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5: Prepare the Pan

Generously grease and flour a tube pan or two loaf pans. This step is crucial to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s), spreading it evenly.
