Apple Cake

Kankana Saxena
Sweet bites of apple with crunchy pecan and hint of warm ginger, this Apple Cake is a delightful teacake! I like to drizzle some salted caramel on the cake, and it goes to a whole new level of lusciousness. It’s an easy one-bowl apple cake recipe that barely needs any effort.

Ingredients
 

  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 apples (cut into tiny bite size cubes)
  • few thin slices of apple (optional)
  • ½ cup pecans (Roughly chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a loaf pan with butter or oil.
  • Roughly chop half of the pecans and leave rest of them whole to place on top of the cake batter.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg, sugar and oil. Once it’s combined, sift the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, baking powder and baking soda. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients to form a thick, glossy batter.
  • Drop the apple cubes and chopped pecan. Mix it and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer the thinly sliced apple on top along with the whole pecans.
  • Place the pan on the middle rack and bake it for 55 to 60 minutes. Poke the center of the cake with a toothpick or a skewer and if comes out clean, it’s baked. If the top of the cake looks dark but the cake is still not baked, place an aluminum sheet loosely on top of the cake and continue baking.
  • Once done, let it cool a little before you release from the pan. And then let it cool down more before you slice and serve.
