Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting




Ingredients:

2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups grated apples, peeled
1/2–1 cup nuts
Frosting:
1 (8-oz.) package of cream cheese, softened at room temperature
3 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1–1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9'' x 13'' pan or two 8'' round cake pans.
To prepare the cake, beat the eggs and oil until foamy. Add the sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and mix until well combined. Gently stir in the grated apples and the nuts.
Pour the batter into a lightly greased and floured pan and bake for 45–60 minutes. (Check regularly while baking to make sure the top doesn't overcook.) Bake until golden in color and cooked all the way through. A knife should come clean when tested in the center. Allow the cake to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting by adding the cream cheese and butter to a bowl. Cream together by hand or by using a stand mixer. Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and mix well. Frost the cake when it's completely cool.
