Apple Cake

Taken from Made by Melissa

3-5 Granny Smith Apples
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour, divided
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and finely chop apples. In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat of medium speed until well mixed, at least 3-5 minutes. Add 1 cup of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and baking soda, mix well. Add second cup of flour and mix until just blended, this will make the batter very thick. Fold in apples and walnuts.

Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan. Pour batter into pan, bake 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Run a knife along the edges of the cake and remove from pan by flipping onto another wire rack or plate, invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
