Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sourdough Discard
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Neutral oil Like vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Apples Peeled and Cored

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and greased Bundt pan or an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, mix the oil and sugar together until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sourdough discard.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the chopped apples. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly throughout.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Make sure to cut the apples into small, even pieces.  This will make sure that the apples are evenly distributed throughout the cake batter.
  • I baked this in a Bundt pan, but you would use cake pans or a 9x13 inch baking dish for this cake.
  • Serve this cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or slather it with 3 ingredient cream cheese frosting.
