Quick and Easy Apple Cinnamon Cake Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if vanilla sugar is unavailable
- 3 apples peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 packet vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup oil
- 2/3 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) without fan.
- Prepare a baking tray by greasing it with butter and dusting with flour.
- In a cup, prepare the milk and oil mixture.
- Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and pudding mix.
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar on high speed for about 3 minutes.
- Reduce mixer speed to medium and slowly add the milk and oil in a thin stream.
- Lower the mixer speed to the lowest setting and gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix just enough to combine.
- Fold in the diced apples using a spatula, then pour the batter into the prepared tray. Tap the tray 2-3 times on the work surface to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the surface is lightly browned. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few crumbs.
- Let cool and dust with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
