Ingredients

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the diced apples and nuts if using.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
