Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups peeled and diced apples
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until it becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, blending well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in your diced apples and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flavor, serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Store in an airtight container.
