Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Batter

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Apple Filling

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

For Garnish

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the apple mixture: In a bowl, combine the sliced apples with brown sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground nutmeg. Toss well and set aside to marinate.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, which should take about 3–5 minutes using an electric mixer.
  4. Add eggs: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, making sure to mix well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  5. Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt evenly.
  6. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Layer the batter: Pour half of the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  8. Add apple layer: Evenly distribute the apple mixture over the batter base in the pan.
  9. Top with remaining batter: Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer, smoothing the top to cover the apples completely.
  10. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Serve: Dust the cooled apple pie cake with powdered sugar before slicing and serving for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Use tart apples such as Granny Smith or Braeburn for the best balance of sweetness and flavor.
  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature to achieve a light and fluffy batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter once flour is added to avoid a dense cake.
  • This cake is best served slightly warm but also delicious at room temperature.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
