Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 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 line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and softened butter together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apples gently using a spatula until they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the top of the batter with the brown sugar for added sweetness and a slight crunch.
Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and serve. Enjoy your Yummy Apple Cake!
