Print Recipe

A moist and tender apple cake, bursting with fresh apple flavor and a hint of vanilla. Perfect for a cozy dessert or afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (springform recommended).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined (do not overmix).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter in a decorative pattern.
  9. If using the optional topping, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the apples.
  10. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Slice and serve. Enjoy with whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce.

Notes

  • Use good quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a tough cake.
  • Don’t overbake the cake to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • Experiment with different types of apples.
  • Add nuts or dried fruit to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • Spice it up with nutmeg, allspice, or cloves.
  • Make it gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
