This easy one-bowl cake combines whole wheat and all-purpose flours with maple syrup, warm spices, and tart apples. Folded with white chocolate chips and walnuts, it bakes up moist and tender, finished with a simple white chocolate drizzle for extra sweetness. Perfect for apple season snacking or dessert.

Directions

Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.

In a separate medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring just until incorporated.

Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, 3/4 cup white chocolate chips, and diced apples.

Spoon the thick batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool on a wire rack.

Melt the remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into a small plastic bag, snip a tiny corner off, and set aside.

Once the cake is fully cooled (or nearly), drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top using the bag. Slice and serve.

Store leftovers tightly covered at room temperature for up to a couple of days.
