Apple & Cinnamon Cake

A delicious soft and fluffy homemade cake, made with fresh apples and flavoured with cinnamon

It’s that time of year where I just want proper home-cooked comfort food recipes and this Apple & Cinnamon Cake is just that!

I’ve made it every weekend for the past 4 weeks and it’s the best thing to have on a Sunday afternoon when you are chilling at home.

Ingredients for Apple & Cinnamon Cake

The ingredients are quite basic and hopefully you should have most of them at home already. Full quantities are listed out in the recipe card below.

The dry ingredients are plain flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. You then need two large apples. Pink Lady apples are my favourite for this cake.

The wet ingredients are oil, yogurt, eggs and vanilla.

Then for the icing drizzle you will need icing sugar, cinnamon and water.

How To Make Apple & Cinnamon Cake

This cake is really easy to make. Everything is mixed by hand so you don’t need an electric whisk. Here are the step by step photos:

1. Step 1: Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix with a spoon.

2. Step 2: Peel and chop the apples into smallish bite sized pieces and add to the bowl.

3. Step 3: Mix the wet ingredients together in a jug.

4. Step 4: Then add the wet ingredients to the bowl and mix again.

Cooking & Cooling

In the meantime make up the cinnamon icing by mixing together the icing sugar, cinnamon and water in a small bowl.

If your kids are not big fans of cinnamon you can skip this step. Or alternatively just make a plain icing for the top.

Drizzle the icing over the top, then cut into 9 squares.

Storage

This cake will keep in an airtight tin for up to 3 days. If you prefer to eat it warm (my preference!) then microwave for 15-20 seconds.

The slices can also be frozen and defrosted at room temperature in a couple of hours.
