Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
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, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and oil mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 40 to 45 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.
