Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 cups apples - peeled, cored and diced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.

Step 2

Spread batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Beat oil and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.

Step 4

Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.

Step 5

Gradually stir flour mixture into oil-egg mixture until just combined; batter will be very thick. Fold in apples using a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cake on a wire rack before slicing.
