This is a very moist cake that my mother always made for my birthday. It is best without any icing.

Ingredients

  • 5 chopped firm medium-sized peeled apples

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp. vanilla

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 1 tsp. baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions

  • Chop walnuts and apples (pieces should be irregular from roughly ½ x ½ x ½ inch cubes to roughly 1 x 1 x 3/8 inch slices), and immediately mix the lemon juice into the apples to prevent them from browning.
  • Cream eggs and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer.
  • Add oil and vanilla.
  • Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in separate bowl by hand, and then mix with wet ingredients until just combined. This will form a fairly stiff batter so use a slow mixing speed.
  • By hand, fold in apple chunks and walnuts.
  • Lightly grease large (12-cup) tube or Bundt pan, and transfer batter into it.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 50-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If the top is getting too brown, cover with aluminum foil.
  • Remove from oven and let stand for 15-20 minutes, then invert over rack.
