Apple Cake: COLLECTION
Description
This Apple Cake is the ultimate comfort food, featuring a tender crumb infused with warm cinnamon and vanilla. The batter is rich with oil for moisture, ensuring every bite stays soft even days after baking. Loaded with diced apples that soften during baking, it offers a delightful contrast between the cake’s sweetness and the fruit’s natural tartness. Perfect for autumn afternoons, holiday brunches, or simply with a cup of coffee, this recipe is forgiving and easy to make. It’s a classic homemade treat that brings the cozy flavors of fall to your kitchen table without any fuss.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt or angel food cake pan generously with oil or butter.
-
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla, beating until well combined and slightly pale.
-
Blend in the vegetable oil until smooth.
-
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Stir in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
-
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Note
For best results, use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to balance the sweetness.
If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil after 45 minutes of baking.
This cake stores well covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
