Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 2 apples, peeled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly.
- Form Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
- Add Apples: Fold in the peeled and chopped apples carefully to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without overmixing.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a baking pan to prevent sticking and pour the batter evenly into the pan, smoothing the surface.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for the best texture and flavor in the cake.
- Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar to enhance presentation and sweetness.
- Store the cake covered at room temperature to maintain freshness for up to 2 days.
