Cinnamon Apple Cake (Hanukkah Cake)
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 large baking apples, peeled and chopped
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, spray an 8-inch springform pan with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking.
3
Now, combine 1 1/2 cups of sugar, softened cream cheese, melted butter, and a hint of vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until they form a smooth and creamy consistency.
4
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure the cake batter is evenly combined.
5
Separately, whisk together 2 tablespoons of flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in another bowl. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sugar with a pinch of cinnamon to create a sweet and spicy blend.
6
Mix the dry ingredients, including the cinnamon-sugar mixture, into the cream cheese batter until it forms a smooth and consistent texture.
7
Fold in 2 tablespoons of chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
8
Pour the cake batter into the prepared springform pan and sprinkle the top with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
9
Bake the cake in a preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until it slightly pulls away from the edges of the pan.
10
Once done, let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before removing it from the pan and slicing it into individual pieces.
