A small cinnamon apple cake baked in a 5-inch square dish. Makes four squares, with powdered sugar on top if you like.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup salted butter plus ½ tbsp for dish
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup chopped apples
- Powdered sugar optional
Equipment
- hand mixer
- mixing bowl
- baking sheet
Directions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 5-inch square baking dish with the ½ tablespoon of butter and set it on a rimmed baking sheet.
- With a mixer, beat the ¼ cup of butter and the sugar for 2 to 3 minutes, until light. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Add it to the butter mixture a little at a time, mixing just until combined.
- Mix in the milk, then gently fold in the apples, chopped into ½-inch pieces.
- Spread the batter in the dish and smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until browned and a knife in the center comes out clean.
- Let it stand for 10 minutes. Serve it from the dish or turn it out onto a plate, and dust with powdered sugar if you like.
