- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional for extra warmth)
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120ml) milk or buttermilk
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour an 8×8-inch or 9-inch round cake pan. If you prefer easier removal, line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
Set this mixture aside. These dry ingredients form the base structure of the cake, ensuring it’s soft yet stable.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer for about 2–3 minutes until the mixture turns light and fluffy.
This step traps air into the batter, which helps the cake rise beautifully while baking.
