Delicious Cinnamon Apple Cake Recipe for Hanukkah

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 large baking apples, peeled and chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray for easy removal.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 ½ cups sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon. Mix 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the flour mixture; set aside the remaining cinnamon-sugar for topping.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the diced apples. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan. Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 ¼ hours. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before releasing from the pan and serving.
