Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for icing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cake cools, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thick. Add more cream if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Step 11

Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the icing over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
