Ingredients
For the Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour – The base of the cake.
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder – Helps the cake rise.
1/2 teaspoon baking soda – Adds a little extra lift.
1/2 teaspoon salt – Balances the sweetness.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – The warm, aromatic spice that gives the cake its signature flavor.
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened) – For richness and moisture.
1 cup granulated sugar – Sweetens the cake.
2 large eggs – Provides structure and moisture.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds a warm depth of flavor.
1/2 cup sour cream – Helps keep the cake moist and adds a bit of tang.
2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced) – Granny Smith or Gala apples work great for this cake.
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) – For added crunch and texture.
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
1/4 cup granulated sugar – Sweetens the topping.
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon – For that signature cinnamon flavor in the topping.
