Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
For the Apple Filling:
- 2–3 medium apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook until apples are soft and caramelized (about 8–10 minutes). Let cool slightly.
2. Make the Cake Batter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
3. Layer the Cake
Spread half the cake batter into the pan. Spoon the apple filling evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining cake batter and gently smooth the top.
4. Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
