Ingredients

• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar (for apple swirl)
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for apple swirl)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Lightly dust with flour and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet mixture in three additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, toss the diced apples with the 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to coat evenly.

Step 7

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly. Spoon half of the apple mixture over the batter, creating an even layer.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer, then top with the remaining apple mixture. Gently swirl the batter and apples together using a butter knife to create a marbled effect.

Step 9

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve!
