Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Apple Mixture

  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Finishing

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Apple Mixture: In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground nutmeg. Set this flavorful apple mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes using an electric mixer.
  4. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  6. Mix Batter: Add the dry ingredient mixture alternately with the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  7. Assemble Layers: Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Then spread the apple mixture evenly over this layer.
  8. Top with Remaining Batter: Pour the remaining batter gently over the apple layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool: Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Dust and Serve: Before serving, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for a delightful finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn for the best flavor and texture contrast.
  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cake tender.
  • If desired, serve this cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
