Ingredients
- For the Batter:
- 3 cups of flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 cup of sugar
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 6 small apples, cored, peeled, and diced
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. flour
- 1 tbsp. cinnamon
- For the Glaze:
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 5 tbsp. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Mix them together until well combined.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
To the dry ingredients, add the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3: Melt Butter and Add to Batter
Melt the 1/2 cup of butter and add it to the batter. Stir until the melted butter is well mixed in. Be careful not to overmix; just combine until everything is incorporated.
Step 4: Add Diced Apples
Carefully fold in the diced apples into the batter. Ensure that the apples are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5: Prepare the Topping
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. It will be a thick mixture.
Step 6: Assemble the Cake
Pour the prepared batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Make sure it's a 9x13-inch pan, as using a smaller pan may result in overflow while baking. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
Step 7: Add the Topping
Drop spoonfuls of the topping mixture all over the batter. Use a knife to create a swirly, marbled effect by gently dragging it through the topping and batter. This will allow the topping to meld with the batter below.
Step 8: Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake for at least 40 minutes. Depending on the juiciness of your apples and the number of apples used, you may need to adjust the baking time. If the top begins to brown too much, you can tent it with foil to prevent over-browning.
Step 9: Rest and Glaze
Once the cake is baked, let it sit for about 20 minutes. Then, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Pour the glaze all over the cake.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy
Slice the Apple Fritter Cake and serve it warm. Enjoy the delicious blend of flavors and textures!
This Apple Fritter Cake is a fantastic way to enjoy the flavors of apple fritters in a simpler and more convenient form. Whether you serve it for dessert or as a sweet breakfast treat, it's sure to be a hit with friends and family. Enjoy your homemade apple goodness!
