This recipe makes an apple cinnamon cake that is moist, fluffy and so delicious. It is full of apples so you’ll find apples in every bite and as we all know; cinnamon always goes great with apples and this cake is definitely no exception.
Apple cinnamon cake is my favourite dessert to make when I have uneaten apples left in the fridge. It is a delicious dessert that goes perfect with custard or ice-cream but also taste great eaten alone.
Pink lady apples are my favourite type of apples to bake with and I use them in pies, crumbles, muffins and cakes. They are also my favourite apples to eat alone and usually the only apples you will find in my house. I love them because they are sweet with the perfect flavour and they taste great in any dessert that I bake them in.

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Cake
1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/350oF/180oC/160oC fan and line an 8 inch/20cm round baking tin with parchment paper. Cream together the butter, sugar and vegetable oil until smooth then using a wire or hand whisk, mix in the eggs, vanilla extract and yoghurt.
2. Mix in the salt and ground cinnamon then gradually mix in the flour and chopped apples. Bake in the oven for 45 – 50 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing and transferring it to a cooling rack to completely cool.
Recipe Tips
- For this recipe, you will need chopped apple. Ensure you chop them as small as possible as large pieces will cause your cake to fall apart when you cut it.
