Ingredients

For the cake:
  • 1 ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup apple diced and peeled
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
For the glaze:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth (about 3 minutes). Add sugar, beating until fluffy (an additional 5 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Turn mixer to low and beat in flour and salt. Fold in the diced apples.
  2. Pour batter into TWO bread loaf pans that have been greased generously.** Bake in a 350 degree oven for 75 minutes.***
  3. Remove from oven and cool in pans for about 10 minutes. Turn out and cool completely on a wire rack, with top sides up.
  4. For the glaze, beat powdered sugar, cinnamon and heavy cream with a whisk until smooth. Spread over completely cooled cakes. Store in airtight container. These freeze well too!

Notes

  • I like to line the bottom of my loaf pans with parchment paper as an additional step to ensuring the cake removes easily.
  • I use 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  • Lightly place a piece of foil over the tops of the loaf pans during the last 15-20 minutes to prevent burning, if needed.
