Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup milk
• 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square or round baking pan and line it with parchment paper if desired for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
