ABOUT APPLE CINNAMON CAKE
Apple Cinnamon Cake is a delicious tender cake made from fresh apples, with a hint of cinnamon. If you love cinnamon flavor, this cake is surely a delight and you won’t be able to stop yourself to devour this delicious cake.
The combination of cinnamon and apples in this cake is amazing. The cake is so moist and tender. It not only gets flavor from the cinnamon, but also from the fresh chopped apples. The apple not only adds wonderful flavor but so much moisture that the end result is incredibly moist, soft and fluffy cake.
This apple cinnamon cake is one of my oldest recipe. It is one of the best cake I have made and is so easy to make. I am happy I could recreate the recipe so that I could blog it for my readers. It is tried and tested by many and got awesome feedbacks. I am sure you too will love it as much as we did.
It is a comforting cake. I make it very often for tea time, for quick snack, use it in pudding dessert or serve as dessert with whipped cream or cheese cream with dry/fresh fruits and nuts toppings. You can also serve it with a scoop of icecream as an after meal dessert.
Cake is a classic easy dessert, whether it’s a chocolate or simple plain cake or fruit & nut cake, even something with a bit of spice and fruit like this Cinnamon Apple Cake recipe.
Cakes that include the addition of fruit or veggies like carrot cake, savoury cake or orange cake tend to be super moist and delicious, and this apple cake is the perfect example of that!
HOW TO MAKE APPLE CINNAMON CAKE WITH EGG?
To make this apple cinnamon cake with egg, you may use 2 eggs. First crack the eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk it with hand whisk for 2-3 minutes. Next add the jaggery and whisk till the jaggery dissolves. Then add the rest of wet ingredients like buttermilk, oil, vanilla extract one after the other. Rest follow the remaining instructions as mentioned in the recipe instructions below. However you will need to keep two things in mind if you’re adding eggs to this recipe
● First you will need to reduce the buttermilk. Try adding ½ cup first and then add little at a time and adjust the batter consistency once the wet ingredients is added.
● Leave out the baking soda, you need not add them.
WHAT ARE THE VARIATIONS AND INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTES THAT CAN BE ADAPTED?
● This is a great variation – You can make a simple batter without the apple in the batter which is then covered with a sliced apples that have been coated in cinnamon and sugar. The apples soften and sink into the cake as they bake, making a pretty pattern on the top with caramelized texture.
● Another variation is adding the apple in layer in between the cake – You can use some brown sugar or white sugar though brown sugar works best. Mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon powder and apples. Make a simple batter. Pour half the batter and layer half of the apple brown sugar mixture. Pour the remaining batter. Top it with the remaining apple sugar mixture and bake.
● You can also caramelize apple with brown sugar for the topping which gives it a fantastic taste and flavor.
● You can glaze the cake with cinnamon flavor glaze. Mix confectioners sugar, cinnamon and enough water to reach desired consistency. Spoon glaze over cake, allowing some to flow over sides.
● You can add a mixture of dry fruits and nuts as toppings for a crunchy feel and taste.
● You can also add a hint of coffee powder for more flavor and aroma.
● You can substitute whole wheat flour with all purpose flour. For healthier option I have used whole wheat flour.
● You can substitute jaggery with white sugar, brown sugar, cane sugar or any healthier sweetener.
● You can substitute oil with melted butter.
CAN THIS BE MADE VEGAN?
YES, off course you can make this vegan. Firstly replace buttermilk with water or non-dairy milk. Secondly you may use 1 tablespoon vinegar or lime juice or 2 tablespoon flax seeds powder. Grind the flax seed into powder. Mix the flax seed powder with 2-3 tablespoons of water, stir and keep for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the recipe.

● Be careful with your cake batter. It should not be running. The batter consistency should be slightly thick but flowing. The apple will release lots of moisture whole baking.
● Do not open the oven frequently to check the cake while the baking is in process.
● Each oven reacts differently so baking time may differ since the temperature varries from oven to oven.
● If you can’t finish the cake in a day or two, you need to refrigerate the cake to go good for some few more days. Since the cake is loaded with fresh apples it won’t stay long in room temperature unlike other cakes.
