Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped into small chunks)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing 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.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake has cooled slightly but is still warm, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Glazed Chunky Apple Cake with friends and family!
