# What You'll Need:

→ Cake Batter

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
03 - 1 cup chopped pecans
04 - 1 cup shredded apples (about 2 medium apples)
05 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
06 - 1/2 cup sour cream
07 - 3 large eggs
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
10 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
12 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Dust the pan with flour or line it with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
04 - Fold the shredded apples and chopped pecans into the wet ingredients to distribute them evenly.
05 - Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir just until the batter is evenly combined; do not overmix.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out into an even layer.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Using freshly shredded apples ensures maximum moisture and flavor in the cake.
