Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 7 x 11 inch baking pan thoroughly and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure a light and even texture.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of sugar and shortening until well combined and smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in batches, alternating with the milk. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Gently press apple chunks into the batter. Sprinkle the top evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon for a sweet and spiced topping.
Bake in the preheated oven until the apples are tender and the cake is golden brown, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
