Instructions soft apple and cinnamon sheet cake
For this recipe the eggs should be at room temperature.
In a bowl, whip whole eggs with white sugar and brown sugar until they become light and frothy for about 5 minutes. This step ensures that your apple cake will be soft and delicious.
Add vegetable oil and beat again with the mixer at minimum for a couple of minutes.
At this point, sift the wholemeal flour, all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and a generous teaspoon of baking soda. Add everything in the bowl with the eggs and gently incorporate with a spoon with movements from the bottom to the top.
Now add coarsely chopped walnuts and almonds and mix again.
Peel the apples and grate them on a grater with large holes. Add all the fruit (including juice) to the mixture and stir to incorporate.
At this point also add lemon zest.

Instructions fluffy and moist apple and walnut cake – the baking
Preheat the static oven to 175 ° C. Spread a square pan (mine 35 cm x 35 cm) with some oil and dust with flour. You can also simply line it with baking paper. Pour all the batter and level it slightly.
Bake for about 30 – 35 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center of the apple cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
Serve with a lemon glaze, dusted with powdered sugar, covered with cream cheese frosting or just plain without anything. Store at a room temperature.
