HOW TO MAKE IRRESISTIBLE APPLE CINNAMON CAKE: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

1. Prepare the Apples: Peel and dice 5 small apples. Toss the diced apples with 20g granulated sugar and 3 tsp cinnamon until evenly coated.
2. Mix the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine 400g all-purpose flour, 50g granulated sugar, 300ml milk, 2 eggs, 3 tsp baking powder, and 2 tsp vanilla sugar. Mix thoroughly. Add 3 tbsp sunflower oil and continue mixing until well combined.
3. Fold in the Apples: Gently fold the cinnamon-spiced apple mixture into the cake batter until evenly distributed.
4. Prepare the Brown Sugar Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine 150g brown sugar and 3 tsp cinnamon. Add 3 tbsp sunflower oil and mix until well combined.
5. Assemble and Bake: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a 9” x 13” (23cm x 33cm) pan with parchment paper. Transfer the cake batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the batter. Bake for 30-40 minutes, but keep a close eye on it. Test with a toothpick for doneness!
6. Make the Glaze: While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing 70ml milk with 200g icing sugar until smooth and desired consistency is reached.
7. Drizzle and Serve: Once the cake is baked and still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND TIPS

If you’re looking to make the perfect apple cinnamon cake, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that your cake comes out just right. Here are a few troubleshooting tips and tricks to help you along the way:

1. Apples: The type of apples you use can greatly impact the flavor of your cake. Opt for firmer apples that hold up well during baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. Soft apples can break down and turn to mush during baking, making your cake less appetizing.
2. Cinnamon Swirl: To ensure the cinnamon swirl stays on top of the batter and doesn’t sink to the bottom of the cake, don’t mix it in too much. Simply dollop it on top of the batter and gently swirl it through with a knife.
3. Glaze: To prevent the glaze from being too thick or too thin, make sure you’re using the correct ratios of icing sugar to milk. You can always add more milk if the glaze is too thick, or more icing sugar if it’s too thin.
4. Baking Time: Every oven is different, so it’s important to keep an eye on your cake as it bakes. The baking time listed in the recipe is a guide, but your cake may need more or less time depending on your oven. To check if your cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out mostly clean, with just a few crumbs on it, then your cake is done.
5. Cooling: Once your cake is out of the oven, let it cool in the tin for around 30 minutes before removing it. This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to slice.

By following these tips and tricks, you’ll be well on your way to making the perfect apple cinnamon cake!

CAN APPLE CINNAMON CAKE BE FROZEN

Yes, apple cinnamon cake can be frozen! This makes it a great option for meal prepping or for when you want to make a cake ahead of time. Here’s how to freeze your apple cinnamon cake:

1. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Make sure the cake is fully covered and that no air can get in.
2. Place the wrapped cake in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag. Label the container with the date and contents to keep track of how long it’s been in the freezer.
3. Store the cake in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to eat your frozen apple cinnamon cake, simply remove it from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for a few hours. You can also place the cake in the refrigerator to thaw overnight. Once thawed, the cake should be just as moist and flavorful as when it was freshly baked.

Note: If your cake has a glaze, it’s best to add the glaze after the cake has thawed and is at room temperature. This will help the glaze retain its smooth texture and flavor.
