Apple Cinnamon White Cake

Apple Cinnamon White Cake

Ingredients

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2/3 cup white sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup milk

1 apple, peeled and chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.

Beat white sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated; add vanilla extract.

Mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl; gently stir into creamed butter mixture. Mix milk into batter until smooth, I prefer to do this by hand so I don't over mix. Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan; add half the apples and half the brown sugar mixture into prepared pan. Lightly pat apple mixture into batter. Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and brown sugar mixture. Lightly pat apples into batter; swirl brown sugar mixture through apples using a spoon handle.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean,  about 30 to 40 minutes. Oven temps vary, check after 30 minutes, do not over bake.
