Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Be gentle—overmixing can make the cake dense.
Step 5: Incorporate Apples
- Fold in the prepared apple pieces gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- The batter should be thick but pourable.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes.
- Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Tip: This cake tastes amazing both warm and at room temperature, especially with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey.
