Cinnamon Apple Cake
Ingredients
For the Apple Cake
- 210 grams (1½ cups) all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 150 grams (¾ cup) organic sugar
- 1½ cups apple, peeled and diced
- 1 apple, cored and sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 ml (½ cup) vegetable oil
- 120 ml (½ cup) kefir or plain greek yogurt
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 50 grams (¼ cup) organic sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease and line an 8-inch cake tin with parchment paper. I used one with a removable base.
- In a large mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Add chopped apple and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl add eggs, vanilla, oil and kefir. Whisk to break up the egg yolks.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Spoon batter into prepared tin.
- Top the batter with sliced apples.
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- Combine cinnamon, sugar and butter. Mix together until lumpy and wet. Sprinkle over cake batter.
- Bake cake for approximately 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Transfer cake to a rack to cool completely before removing from the cake pan. Recipe inspired by SweetestMenu
