BEST cinnamon apple cake...

 

hey viewers today i am sharing an apple cinnamon cake recipe which i made and brought along for australia’s greatest morning tea. this is one of two apple cake recipes i have tested in my kitchen, both delicious and with slightly different flavour profiles but this one is quicker to bake in the oven and minus the sugar glaze simply delish. in my culinary opinion the sugar glaze is not necessary as it is sweet enough. son number two verified this by commenting…mum it’s too sweet and i have to agree. the cinnamon sugar sand is more than enough and of course i am the classic tweaker so my only variations were to ditch the sugar glaze and use two good sized apples which is more than a cup.

this recipe was discovered via insta from the sweetest menu and is titled the BEST cinnamon apple cake and you know what i think it could very well be. if you need a delish home-made cake and you don’t have hours to spare, then add this to your baking list. it was devoured, all gone and a blog request, so here it is.

click on the link for the original recipe or follow my slight variation. mm serve it with some thick cream or vanilla ice-cream if you really want to have a double dose of dessert.

INSTRUCTIONS

1.   Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8 inch (20cm) round cake pan with baking or parchment paper.

2.   In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add chopped apple and stir briefly to combine.

3.   In a separate bowl, add eggs, vanilla, oil and yoghurt. Whisk briefly just to break up the egg yolks.

4.   Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon until combined – but be careful not to over mix. Spoon batter into prepared tin.

5.   To make cinnamon topping, combine cinnamon, sugar and butter. Mix together until lumpy and wet. Sprinkle over cake batter.

6.   Bake cake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
