Ingredients

1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Butter
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Milk
2 cups Apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup Walnuts (optional)

Equipment

9-inch round cake pan

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, cream 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in 2 cups of chopped apples and 1/2 cup of walnuts, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This apple cake is perfect on its own, but you can also drizzle it with caramel sauce or serve it with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
