Apple Fritter Loaf Cake

Ingredients

• 2.5 apples (2–3 apples, peeled and diced into small cubes)
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (For the apples)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (For the apples)
• 0.333 cup brown sugar (For the topping; the transcript specifies packed dark brown sugar)
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon (For the brown-sugar topping)
• 0.5 cup butter (Softened)
• 0.667 cup granulated sugar (For the cake batter)
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 cup whole milk (For the cake batter; the transcript describes it as cold)
• 2.5 tbsp whole milk (2–3 tablespoons for the glaze; the creator used 2 tablespoons)
• 1 cup powdered sugar (For the glaze)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix well to make the cinnamon-brown-sugar topping.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, combine the peeled, diced apples, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until the apples are evenly coated.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter and 2/3 cup of granulated sugar. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

4. 4

   Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, then mix well.

5. 5

   Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.

6. 6

   Add the whole milk and mix until the batter is combined.

7. 7

   Line a 9 × 5 × 2.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

8. 8

   Spread half of the cake batter evenly over the bottom of the prepared loaf pan.

9. 9

   Top the batter with half of the prepared apples, followed by half of the cinnamon-brown-sugar mixture.

10. 10

    Repeat the layers with the remaining cake batter, apples, and cinnamon-brown-sugar mixture, spreading the batter evenly before adding the toppings.

11. 11

    Use a butter knife to swirl the layers together a few times.

12. 12

    Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean. The creator reported baking hers for approximately 55 minutes.

13. 13

    While the loaf is hot, combine the powdered sugar and 2–3 tablespoons of milk in a bowl. Mix well to make the glaze.

14. 14

    Pour the glaze over the hot apple fritter loaf cake and serve.

Notes

The source does not specify cooling time; it directs applying the glaze while the loaf is hot. Line the pan with parchment as stated. The transcript reports using two large apples and two tablespoons of milk for the glaze, while the written recipe gives ranges of 2–3 apples and 2–3 tablespoons of milk.
