My husband loves this cake
so much he had two pieces 'after' eating lunch...

Ingredients

2 Eggs
1 ½ cup Canola Oil
2 cups Granulated Sugar
3 cups A-P Flour
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
4 cups Chopped Apples (peeled and cored): measure after chopping
1 cup chopped Pecans: measure after chopping
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
⅔ cup 2% Milk
—Confectioners’ Sugar (for dusting top once cake has cooled)

Method

Preheat oven to 325F. Spray a glass 9x13” baking pan; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil and sugar with a hand mixer and set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking soda together.
Add the sifted ingredients to the wet ingredients in the large bowl, use a wooden spoon to combine. Add apples, pecans, vanilla and milk to the cake mixture, and fold to combine.
Pour into prepared baking pan, and use a spatula to spread out evenly.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes (turning half way for even baking), or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
When cake is completely cool, dust with confectioners’ sugar.
