Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Set it aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Gently fold the apple slices into the cake batter using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This cake pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
