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.
Step 6: Bake Until Perfectly Done
Place the pan(s) in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake after 50 minutes. If it comes out clean or with only a few crumbs, the cake is done. If using loaf pans, check them around 50 minutes, as they may bake faster than a tube pan.
Step 7: Enjoy!
Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. Enjoy your delicious Apple Pecan Cake with or without icing!
