- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup finely chopped apples
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×12-inch baking pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of sugar together for about 4 minutes or until the mixture is light and pale yellow in color.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and baking soda.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Fold in the chopped apples and melted butter. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of white sugar, brown sugar, and half-and-half. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
-
Pour the warm sauce over the cake immediately after removing it from the oven.
-
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
-
Once cooled, serve slices of the Apple Nut Cake topped with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
This Apple Nut Cake is sure to become a favorite with its moist texture, rich flavors, and the comforting aroma of apples and spices. Enjoy it with loved ones over a cup of coffee or as a delightful dessert any time of the day!
