Description

This moist apple and walnut cake recipe is quick and easy to make with chopped fruit and nuts, topped with a buttery glaze. Enjoy it warm or cooled.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups apples, peeled and chopped
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup milk

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2 Sift flour, white sugar, salt, and baking soda together into a large bowl; make a well in the center. Stir oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract into the well until well combined (batter will be thick); fold in apples and walnuts until evenly distributed. Spread batter into the prepared baking dish.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
4 Combine brown sugar, butter, and milk in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until glaze is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
5 Pour glaze over hot cake.
