Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apples<\/strong>: Go with any crisp, juicy variety that\u2019s readily available to you, like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith. They hold shape and give the best texture in all bakes, like apple puff pastry tart<\/a> or apple crumb cake.<\/a> Leave softer apples for things like stovetop apple butter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flour<\/strong>: All-purpose flour is best here. It gives a light, tender crumb to this apple fritter pound cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong>: I used regular sugar in the batter and powdered sugar for the glaze. You can use raw sugar or even brown sugar in the cake batter for that rich caramel-apple vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter<\/strong> for that bakery-ish richness. Make sure it is melted and slightly cool. I used salted butter. You can also use unsalted butter or any vegetable oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs<\/strong> to bind and lift the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yogurt<\/strong>: I used plain Greek yogurt. Full-fat is best to keep the cake rich and moist. You can use sour cream instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk<\/strong>: Use any kind of milk you like. But again, full-fat is the better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/strong>: For rounding up the flavors! Use store-bought or homemade vanilla extract<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon powder<\/strong> is the magic ingredient in this recipe for apple fritter cake. The spice mixed with apples is a total win, as my baked apple donuts with cinnamon sugar<\/a> will attest. And if you love the combo, try my apple pie cinnamon rolls<\/a> or apple cinnamon buckwheat waffles<\/a> next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
