Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 210 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 170 grams unsalted butter (softened)
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters milk
- 200 grams apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a standard 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Toss the diced apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning, then fold them gently into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the buttery apple loaf cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream for extra indulgence.
