How to Make the Recipe
Making apple fritter cake is easy, and the results are absolutely worth the effort. Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a bundt pan to ensure that the cake comes out easily once it’s baked. In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
In a separate large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Once that’s done, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for a fragrant flavor.
Next, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix everything together until it forms a smooth batter. Then, fold in the diced apples, which add moisture and texture to the cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top evenly. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this topping over the batter. This will give the cake a delightful cinnamon sugar crust as it bakes.
Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
This apple fritter cake is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack anytime. If you prefer a sweeter treat, drizzle it with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
