Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared 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.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve!
