Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup apples, peeled and chopped about 2 medium apples
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and chopped apples until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
