Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- pinch cloves
- 6 tablespoons butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest optional
- 3/4 pound Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and cut into a small dice
- powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 inch round cake pan or a square 9 inch x 9 inch baking pan. Set aside. (Alternately, you can spray with nonstick cooking spray, line bottom with parchment and spray paper again lightly with more nonstick for extra insurance.)
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a medium bowl.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and orange zest on medium speed for 3 minutes.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, just until combined. With a rubber spatula, fold the apples into the batter. Spread into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool, dust with powdered sugar, cut into pieces, and serve warm or at room temperature.
