Ingredients:
2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (any type of apple)
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt or tube pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples with 1 tablespoon white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups white sugar, vegetable oil, orange juice, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat at high speed until smooth.
Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the apple mixture. Alternate layers of batter and apple filling, ending with batter on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly touched.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
