Description

Brown Sugar Apple Vanilla Snack Cake is a soft, tender, homemade apple cake made with brown sugar, vanilla, chopped apples, and simple pantry ingredients. This easy snack cake bakes up golden with a moist crumb, cozy apple flavor, and a mellow vanilla sweetness that makes it perfect for breakfast, afternoon coffee, lunchbox treats, or an easy after-dinner dessert. Simple, comforting, and beautifully sliceable, this apple vanilla cake is the kind of everyday baking recipe you will want to make again and again.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped apple

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the oil, milk, and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped apples gently so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use firm apples such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith for the best texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter or the cake may turn dense.
  • Chop the apples into small even pieces so every slice has apple throughout.
  • This cake tastes wonderful warm, at room temperature, or lightly reheated.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep the cake soft and moist.
