Description

This delicious Swedish Apple Cake is a comforting and moist dessert perfect for any occasion. Featuring tender apple slices atop a soft cinnamon-flavored cake, it combines the warmth of cinnamon and the sweetness of apples for a truly delightful treat. Easy to prepare and baked to golden perfection, this cake pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Topping

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter, helping your cake rise nicely.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Mix gently until you have a smooth, well-combined batter.
  6. Prepare apple topping: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top evenly. Arrange the thinly sliced apples decoratively over the surface of the batter.
  7. Add the topping sugar and cinnamon: Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple slices. This will create a sweet and fragrant crust when baked.
  8. Bake the cake: Place the cake in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures the cake is fully cooked but still moist.
  9. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. For an added treat, serve it warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweetness of the cake.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
  • To peel and slice apples evenly, use a mandoline or a sharp knife.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • This cake can be reheated gently before serving to enhance the warm apple flavor.
