As you see, there is nothing fancy about the ingredients. Apples are the star of our recipe, providing considerable moisture and fruity bursts in the cake. Cinnamon enhances the flavor of apples and creates that cozy and warm feel. You can replace white sugar with brown sugar for extra moistness and a deeper flavor. Other sweet, crisp apples can replace the apples in this recipe too.
How To Make Easy Apple Cake
- First thing���s first ��� preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease your 9-inch round baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine your flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside for now.
- In your electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until it���s light and fluffy. Then, add your eggs one at a time, making sure to incorporate each one correctly before adding the next.
- Spoon your flour mixture into your butter mixture gradually, mixing until just combined. Finally, add your diced apples and cinnamon, giving it a final stir to spread the apple pieces evenly.
- Pour your apple cake batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading the top smooth.
- Bake your apple cake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean.
