Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Apple syrup
- 60 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 grams Grated apple (peeled)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the apple syrup to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined — do not overmix.
Gently fold in the grated apple using a spatula, ensuring the apple is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.
