EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE



Easiest Ever MOIST Apple Cake image

A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. These apples hold their shape well and provide a balance of tartness and sweetness.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't Overbake the Cake: Keep an eye on the cake while it's baking. It's done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before frosting or serving the cake, let it cool completely in the pan. This will help prevent the cake from falling apart.
