Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and eggs in a large bowl.
- Gradually add the sifted self-rising flour, vanilla, and cinnamon, and mix well.
- Fold in the cubed apples and pecan pieces.
- Pour the batter into a greased tube or Bundt pan.
- Bake at 325°F for 1 hour.

- Turn out the cake and let it sit for an additional 30 minutes to prevent crust formation.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, you can substitute half of the vegetable oil with unsweetened applesauce. If you prefer, you can use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a deeper flavor. Make sure to sift the self-rising flour to incorporate air, ensuring a lighter cake. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or using a mixture of different apples.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delicious on its own but pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. Serve it alongside a warm cup of tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon snack. For a festive touch, drizzle a simple sugar glaze on top or serve with fresh fruit.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover apple cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to extend its shelf life, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, simply slice and warm in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or enjoy it cold for a refreshing treat.
