A delightful spiced apple cake topped with a creamy frosting, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
Greasing the pan ensures the cake doesn't stick and comes out cleanly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps in the batter.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
Mixing the wet ingredients thoroughly ensures a uniform batter.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
Fold in the diced apples gently.
Folding prevents the apples from breaking apart.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the cake at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
Cooling prevents the frosting from melting when applied.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Ensure both ingredients are softened for a smooth texture.
Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until fluffy.
Taste the frosting and adjust sweetness if needed.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
Use an offset spatula for a smooth finish.
Slice and serve the cake. Enjoy!
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
