Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and line the bottom of a 9” springform pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the butter, white and brown sugar and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until creamy, scraping down the sides as you go (you can also use the the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment)
- Add in both eggs and blend until combined.
- Add the rum and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Gradually add in the flour mixture and blend until just barely combined.
- Then add in the diced apples and gently fold them in with a spatula. Be careful not to over mix the batter or the cake will be more dense.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire cooling rack to cool for about 10 minutes Then place on a platter or cake plate to unmold.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving if desired
Notes
- Store at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and then a layer of aluminum foil and place in a larger freezer bag or freezer safe container.
- Choose a nice baking apple for this recipe so they hold their shape. Baking apples that are all great options: Macintosh, Corland, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Jonagold, Pink Lady and Braeburn.
- Use all granulated white sugar if you'd like.
- Use a spiced rum instead of dark rum.
- Sprinkle the entire cake with granulated sugar before placing it into the oven to bake to create a slight crust on top.
- I like to set the eggs our for about 30 minutes before making to get to room temperature.
