Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 3 medium Apples, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper for easier release.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
In another bowl, toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they 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.
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.
Once cooled, sift powdered sugar over the top for garnish, if desired. Slice and serve!
