Ingredients
For the cake
- 2 large apples, cored and chopped, or about 2 and 1/2 cups chopped apples.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup half-and-half or whole milk
For the glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 5-6 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter the sides of a 9 inch loaf pan, and line with parchment paper.
- Mix the chopped apples with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and set aside.
- In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, letting them get fully incorporated. If the mixture starts to look a little separated and weird here, don't worry! That's fine.
- Add the vanilla extract, and mix to combine.
- Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the mixer, and slowly mix to combine. While it's mixing, slowly add the milk or half-and-half, and continue to mix until everything is just evenly incorporated.
- Spread about half the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Top with about half the apple mixture, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Spread the rest of the cake batter on top of the apples. With a chopstick, or skewer, lightly swirl the apple mixture into the batter, if you'd like. Or you can leave it in an even layer.
- Top with the rest of the apple mixture, spreading out in an even layer.
- Bake for 75-85 minutes. Towards the end of the baking time, check on your cake and tent loosely with tinfoil if the top is starting to get too brown.
- Allow the cake to mostly cool, and remove it from the loaf pan, before adding the glaze.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and water. Drizzle over the cooled loaf cake and allow to set before slicing.
