Apple Dapple Cake {Only 8 Ingredients}
Description
This Apple Dapple Cake combines chopped tart Granny Smith apples into a dense batter including eggs, granulated sugar, canola oil, flour, salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract. The apples give moisture and texture, resulting in a richly textured cake after baking in a 9x13" pan at 350°F until a toothpick emerges clean.
Its flavor is subtly sweet and lightly spiced from baking soda, with an apple-forward profile complemented by vanilla. The cake's thickness allows a substantial bite and softness inside with a gently golden crust.
Serving warm with caramel sauce and ice cream enhances its dessert appeal. Leftovers keep well at room temperature for two days and freeze up to two months in airtight storage.
Take care not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb, and cover loosely with foil if browning too fast in the oven.
Ingredients
- 3 large egg
- 2 cups granulated sugar 400 grams
- 1 cup canola oil 8 ounces
- 3 cups all-purpose flour 390 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 5 grams
- 3 cups apple Granny Smith, peeled, cored and chopped
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Recommended Toppings:
- caramel sauce
- Ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9x13" baking pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper for easy removal if desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and oil. Mix until evenly combined.
- Add the flour, salt and baking soda. Mix just until barely blended. Do not over mix.
- Fold in the vanilla and chopped apples. The batter will be very thick.
- Spread the cake batter in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the cake is getting too brown too quickly, cover the cake loosely with aluminum foil to continue baking.
- Serve warm with ice cream and caramel topping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 48 hours. Freeze any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
