Homemade Cinnamon Apple Cake Recipe 📜
Ingredients:
- 2 cups All-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder 🍰
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda 🧁
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt 🧂
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon 🍂
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened 🧈
- 1 cup Granulated sugar 🍚
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed 🍬
- 3 Large eggs 🥚
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract 🌿
- 4 cups Apples, peeled and diced
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. This aromatic blend will infuse the cake with a rich and warm flavor.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating the perfect base for your cake.
- Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract, which adds a touch of sweetness and depth to the batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want a tender and moist cake.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. The apples will bring natural sweetness and a delightful texture to each bite.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. The kitchen is now filled with the enticing scent of cinnamon and apples.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it; baking times may vary.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. The tempting aroma will have your taste buds tingling with anticipation.
