Apple Cake

 

This has been one of our family’s favorite recipes for the last 25+ years. We use BrynTeg Farm apples, of course!

Cake Ingredients:

  • 1 cup melted butter

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • 1 tsp. basking soda

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

  • 2 1/2 cups flour

  • 2+ cups diced apples

Topping Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°

Grease an 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Mix cake ingredients in order given. Add apples last. Pour batter into the greased pan. Smooth and even out of pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of batter. Mix in a small bowl the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle mixture on batter. Bake for approximately 40-50 minutes, longer if necessary, until toothpick comes out clean of batter.


Alterations and Substitutions:

  • Want a smaller cake? Cut the ingredients in half and bake in a smaller pan. Watch the video for more details.

  • Need a substitute for buttermilk? Add a spoonful of vinegar (or apple cider vinegar) to 1 cup of almond milk. Let sit for about 10 minutes before adding and mixing to cake batter.

  • Have extra apples? Double, triple, or quadruple the amount of diced apples. You’ll need to watch the baking time, as it may take slightly longer to completely bake.
