French Apple Cinnamon Cake
French Apple Cinnamon Cake is a blend of sweet apple chunks in a moist, cinnamon-spiced cake. Each bite evokes the ambiance of a cozy café on a Parisian street.
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 medium apples e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan, then lightly flour it to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, ½ tsp of baking soda, 1 tbsp of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, whisk 3 eggs, 1 ½ cups of sugar, ½ cup of vegetable oil, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, gently folding until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Peel, core, and slice 3 medium apples. Gently fold the apple slices into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Freshen apples with lemon juice before adding to the batter.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 15 mins post-baking.
- A few lumps in the mix make it soft.
- Spice it up with nutmeg or cardamom.
- Cool completely on a wire rack for perfect texture and flavor.
