Delicious Apple Cinnamon Cake Recipe - Perfect for Desserts

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups diced apples (peeled and cored)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

    Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter cake.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.

    Mix on medium speed for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Milk

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.

    Do not overmix to keep the cake light.
  6. Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check at 40 minutes as ovens may vary.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
