Guide for Getting Ready Step by Step

Heat the oven before using it.
Start by heating your oven to 325°F (163°C). This makes sure your cake cooks evenly and rises just right.

In a big bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of oil, 2 cups of sugar, and 4 big eggs. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to mix these ingredients until they are smooth and well mixed. This blend should be airy and a bit thick, showing that the eggs and sugar have been mixed well.

In another bowl, mix 3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Sifting helps make sure that the dry ingredients are light and smooth, which helps the cake bake evenly.

Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring softly until well combined. Be cautious not to mix too much, as this could make the cake heavy. Once the flour is mixed in well, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and stir until everything is mixed together.

Carefully mix in the 3 1/2 cups of chopped Granny Smith apples and 1 cup of chopped pecans. The apples make the cake moist and fruity, and the pecans add a nice crunch. Ensure the apples and pecans are spread evenly in the mixture.

Cover a tube pan or two loaf pans with grease and flour completely. This is a very important step to avoid the cake from getting stuck to the pan. Put the mixture into the pan(s) you have prepared, making sure it is spread out evenly.

Put the pan(s) in the oven that has been preheated and bake for about 1 hour. To see if the cake is ready, put a toothpick in the middle of the cake after 50 minutes. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is done. If you are using loaf pans, make sure to check them around 50 minutes because they might bake more quickly than a tube pan.
