With tender apple pieces folded into a soft, cinnamon-scented batter, this cake is a tribute to homemade comfort and cozy gatherings. Ideal for autumn afternoons or special celebrations, it’s a dessert that holds memories in every bite.
Ingredients:
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 ⅔ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups peeled and chopped apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
How to make:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
