Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 150 grams Brown sugar
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters Apple syrup
• 60 milliliters Whole milk
• 100 grams Grated apple (peeled)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Add the apple syrup to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined — do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the grated apple using a spatula, ensuring the apple is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Optional: Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.
