Ingredients
Scale
- 2 apples, peeled and diced
- 45g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 360g plain flour
- 200g granulated sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 300ml whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 110g unsalted butter, melted
- 120g unsalted butter, melted (for cinnamon swirl)
- 150g light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon (for cinnamon swirl)
- 200g icing sugar (for glaze)
- 40ml milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170C (fan). Grease an 8×10” tin.
- Combine the diced apples with 45g granulated sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together the plain flour, 200g granulated sugar, and baking powder in another bowl.
- Mix the milk, vanilla, and eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the melted butter gently.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared tin, smoothing it out to create an even base.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over this layer of batter, allowing the sweet apples to melt into the cake as it bakes.
- Mix the melted butter, light brown sugar, and 2 tbsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle this aromatic swirl mixture over the apples.
- Pour the remaining batter over the apple and cinnamon layer, encapsulating the good stuff in a delicious embrace.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Whisk together the icing sugar and 40ml milk until smooth and pourable for the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and serve warm for a delightful finish.
