Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apples gently using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Slice and enjoy your English Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
