A homemade cake with apple and cinnamon flavor, baked until done with a golden layer of roasted apple slices forming on its surface. Sweetened condensed milk is poured over it to give it moisture and an aroma that renews in every piece.
A homemade cake that lovers of warm flavors often turn to when a ripe apple is available in the kitchen.
Cinnamon here is not just a spice; it is what gives the batter its seasonal character and turns a cup of flour into a familiar aroma.
Sift the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla, vinegar, and a cup of sugar until the mixture is combined.
Add the cup of oil and the warm milk and continue beating.
Add the flour gradually, stirring gently, until it is finished and the lumps disappear.
Pour the mixture into a cake pan or baking tray lined with oil and flour.
Mix the apple pieces with the cinnamon and powdered sugar, and distribute them over the cake mixture in the pan.
Bake the pan in a preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes, and test for doneness with a wooden skewer in the middle.
Take the cake out of the oven, and pour the sweetened condensed milk over it while it is warm, and let it cool before cutting.
The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises blood sugar, while the glycemic load (GL) measures how much a full serving raises it. Together they give the complete picture.
A low value (≤55) means a gradual rise in blood sugar — the most suitable range for diabetes and insulin resistance.
Glycemic load reflects the impact of the full serving. To lower it: take half a serving, or pair the recipe with a source of protein and fiber.
* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet per FDA food-label reference values — your daily needs may be higher or lower. Values are derived from the recipe's ingredients via the USDA database.
The most common problems when preparing Apple Cinnamon Cake, and how to fix them:
Lower the oven temperature by 10 degrees and extend the baking time by 5 minutes while covering the pan with aluminum foil.
Dust a little flour on the apple slices before arranging them over the mixture.
Store in a sealed container for up to 3 days, and heat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
| Original Ingredient | Tested Substitute | Ratio | Flavor Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sweetened condensed milk | Warm chocolate sauce | 1:1 | Reduces added sugar and gives the cake a cocoa flavor. |
Test the cake's doneness with a wooden skewer in the middle; if it comes out clean, it is done. Pour the condensed milk while it is warm so it blends quickly and does not cool the pan all at once.
