Servings: 12 people
Equipment
- 1 9x13 deep baking dish
- 1 stand mixer or hand blender
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter salted, room temperature
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 cups red apples peeled & sliced
- 1 cup whole milk (3.25%) room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp brown sugar to sprinkle on top
- 1 tsp cinnamon to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F and grease a 9x13 deep baking pan with a neutral cooking oil spray.
- Begin by preparing the apples. Peel the skins, remove the core, slice thinly and set aside until ready to use.
- To a large bowl or stand mixer, begin by creaming together the butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Slowly add in one egg at a time until well incorporated.
- Add the baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and mix on low until just combined.
- Slowly add in the milk and continue to mix until combined.Don't be concerned if the batter looks separated; the flour will bring it all together.
- Slowly add in the flour and mix until smooth.
- To your prepared baking dish, add half of the batter, followed by all of the sliced apples, and top with the remaining batter.
- In a small box mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon and gently dust over the entire cake.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the centre of the cake.Sammy's tip: if the edges appear to be burning at the 20-25 minute mark, you can loosely tent the cake with aluminium foil and continue to bake.
- Slice and serve.
