Easy Raw Apple Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups finely chopped Granny Smith apples
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 2.5 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a bowl, whisk together oil and eggs until well combined. In a separate bowl, place the chopped apples; pour the oil mixture evenly over the apples.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, white sugar, baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently fold this dry mixture into the apple mixture until the batter is thick and well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for about 30 minutes before frosting.
5. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and beat until the frosting is smooth. If needed, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
6. Evenly spread the cream cheese frosting over the completely cooled cake.
