Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1/2 cup pickle juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or two 8-inch round pans for even baking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gently stir in the chopped dill pickles and pickle juice.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  7. If using nuts, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting with cream cheese frosting, if desired.

Notes

For a whimsical twist, serve with vanilla or dill pickle-flavored ice cream.
