Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Beat oil and sugar together in an electric mixer until well combined.
- Add the eggs and beat until the mixture is creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing well.
- Stir in the vanilla, peeled and cubed apples, chopped walnuts, and raisins if using.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.

Tips & Substitutions
For added moisture, consider using applesauce in place of half the oil. You can substitute the walnuts with pecans or omit them for a nut-free version. If you want a spicier flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice. Ensure your apples are firm and tart for the best results, similar to those used in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cake plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with Pineapple Whipped Cream Pie for a dessert spread. Consider enjoying it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of tea for a cozy afternoon snack.
