Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt) in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in wet ingredients (oil, beaten eggs, brewed coffee, vanilla) and blend well.
- Fold in sliced peeled apples and nuts.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch tube pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool the cake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or substitute with sunflower seeds for a similar crunch. Ensure the apples are well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the cake. This cake can also be made in a 9x13 inch pan if you don't have a tube pan.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful coffee cake warm, dusted with confectioners' sugar for a touch of sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea, making it perfect for breakfast or a cozy afternoon snack. For a more decadent treat, consider topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
