Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 240 ml sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 220 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 15 grams powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apples using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Apple Sour Cream Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
