Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until blended after each addition.
In a small bowl, toss the diced apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Gently fold the apple pieces into the cake batter using a spatula, ensuring the apples are evenly distributed.
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 about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch, if desired.
Slice and serve your Apple Temptation Cake with tea, coffee, or a generous dollop of whipped cream.
