Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 0.25 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter.
Bake 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 allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, preferably with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
