Apple Cake is a delicious fragrant loaf cake filled with juicy apples and cinnamon, it makes the perfect fall birthday cake!
Today is my birthday and lately I can’t seem to get enough apples! I have no idea why but the last couple of days all I want is something involving apples, as you can tell from my recent blog posts. Another great treat we found while on vacation was apple cake which even I loved, probably because it was more like a bread than a cake or maybe because it was sweet?
Either way, I have been thinking I would try my hand at recreating it, since I have so many delicious apples to use up. This apple cake is in loaf form, mini loaves to be exact, incase I decide to share, we’ll see. I just know you are going to love this moist, fragrant loaf cake filled with juicy apples and cinnamon. So go on and give this recipe a try, enjoy and happy baking!

I am making this recipe right now, but in the ingredient list it states baking powder and in the directions it states baking soda…just wondering which it is? and also there is 1/2 c. packed brown sugar and then another 1 tbsp of brown sugar…what is the 1 tbsp for and when do we add it? Thanks

Oops, it’s baking powder, fixed it, thanks! the 1 tbs is for sprinkling on top of the cake before baking
