Description

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup canola oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 cups apple, finely chopped
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts + extra for trim

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 2 – 8” cake layer pans with cooking spray.
• In a bowl mix flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs and oil with an electric mixer until combined. Add sugar and vanilla, beat well for 1 minute.
• Slowly add flour mixture until combined – batter will be very thick.
• Stir in apples and nuts by hand. Pour into prepared pans. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Cool completely on wire racks. When ready to frost, you may want to trim away the top of the layers which will be a bit crispy. Frost with maple buttercream and trim with more nuts.
