Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup peeled and grated zucchini
1 cup peeled and grated apple
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini, grated apple, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
