Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 3 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces)
• 2 tablespoons Confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a standard bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are covered to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped apples gently with a spatula until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bundt pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with confectioners' sugar using a fine sieve for an elegant finishing touch.

Step 12

Slice and serve. Enjoy Papa S Apple Pound Cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
