Homemade Cinnamon Apple Cake Recipe ๐Ÿ“œ

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour ๐ŸŒพ
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder ๐Ÿฐ
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda ๐Ÿง
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt ๐Ÿง‚
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon ๐Ÿ‚
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened ๐Ÿงˆ
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar ๐Ÿš
  • 1 cup Brown sugar, packed ๐Ÿฌ
  • 3 Large eggs ๐Ÿฅš
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract ๐ŸŒฟ
  • 4 cups Apples, peeled and diced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease and flour a baking pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
