This apple pie is perfect when you have apples fresh from the garden (or the supermarket), and you need a simple recipe for an easy dessert that will delight everyone, ready to enjoy in a few hours. And it will be equally delicious when served tomorrow!
The apple flavor is prominent, complemented by warm spices and refreshing orange juice. If a beautiful fall day were a pie, this is what it would taste like.

Favorite tray: I love baking in a 9×13-inch square glass or metal tray with a lid. The lid is very convenient for storage and transportation!
All Recipe Apple Cake Testing: What Worked & What Didnt
I loved this spice cake and knew it would be the best starting point for today’s version. The biggest change, besides adjusting the spices, was using apple chunks instead of grated apples.
Test Cake 1: included 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon baking soda, along with 3/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup white sugar (same as the spice cake). The cake was already quite dark brown and rose a bit higher, needing a little more moisture and flavor.
For Test Cake 2: I reduced the baking soda a bit to 3/4 teaspoon, and changed the sugar ratio to 1 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. To bring out the apple flavor, I added a splash of orange juice and a little lemon zest. This cake was lighter in color and perfectly moist, but the lemon zest was too strong for the apples.
For test cake 3: I kept everything the same as the previous cake, but omitted the lemon zest. This apple cake came out perfectly golden and just risen, with beautiful indentations on the surface that showed off the apple pieces inside. The orange juice added a fresh flavor and the perfect amount of moisture, allowing the apple flavor to really shine through.
Ingredients All Recipe Apple Cake:
175ml cold-pressed rapeseed oil
275g granulated sugar
2 small eggs (about 100g), lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
220g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp apple pie spice (see below)
250g apples (3 small or 2 large), cored and cut into small cubes (about 1cm)
2 tbsp melted butter (to grease the cake tin).
Apple Cake Spice:
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves.
For the Cake Topping:
2 apples
2 tsp icing sugar
Icing sugar for sprinkling.
Directions Apple Cake Recipe Easy
- If you have a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, this is the best way to go. On medium speed, beat the oil and sugar for a few minutes.
- While the mixer is still running, slowly add the beaten eggs to the bowl. Be patient and don’t rush this stage. Initially, the mixture will be separated and grainy. Trust the process and continue adding the eggs very slowly. After a few minutes, the mixture will become thick, pale and smooth.
- Add the vanilla and mix gently.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and apple pie spice with your hands.
- Add the flour mixture to the sugar and eggs, then mix well.
- Now it’s time to add the chopped apples, gently folding them in.
- Preheat your oven to 170C.
- Using a pastry brush (or if you don’t have one, use your fingers), grease the cake tin and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Pour the entire mixture into the tin.
- To make the topping, cut the remaining 2 apples into 12 pieces each (24 pieces total), carefully removing the seeds. We like to leave the red skins on for a beautiful fall color.
- Arrange the apples on top of the cake, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake for 40-45 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cake just before you are ready to serve.
Should You Frost Apple Cake?
We think this apple cake is delicious on its own, but you can dress it up if you like. Try sprinkling some powdered sugar on top, drizzling it with a glaze, or layering it with homemade icing (brown sugar and maple syrup icing works well).
How to Store Apple Cake
Store the wrapped apple cake at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to five days.
Can You Freeze Apple Cake?
Yes! Apple cakes freeze well. Just wrap the cooled cake in a layer of plastic wrap, then a layer of foil to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
