Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup chopped apples
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup apple cider
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350F and coat a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and flour to prevent sticking.
- Use an electric mixer to cream ½ cup softened butter with 1 cup sugar until the mixture becomes pale and airy.
- Crack 2 large eggs into the butter mixture, adding one at a time and thoroughly blending after each addition.
- Pour ½ cup apple cider and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the wet ingredients, stirring until combined.
- Sift 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt into a separate bowl.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to create a smooth batter.
- Gently fold 1 cup chopped apples into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Slide the pan into the preheated 350F oven and bake for 32-35 minutes until a testing skewer emerges clean.
Notes
- Ripe, soft apples work best for maximum flavor and moisture in the cake.
- Dust the chopped apples with a little flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking.
- The apple cider glaze adds a delightful tangy sweetness that complements the warm spices in the cake.
- Storing the cake at room temperature in an airtight container keeps it fresh for 2-3 days.
