Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the cake batter. Dot the apples with small pieces of the 2 tablespoons of butter.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Apple Topped Cake!
