Heat up your oven before using it: Set the temperature to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×9-inch square baking pan or a cake pan of similar size by greasing and flouring it.
Get ready for the drought. Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Put this to the side.
Mix the butter and sugar: In a big bowl, mix the soft butter and 1 cup of sugar until it becomes light and fluffy.
Include eggs and vanilla: Mix the eggs one by one, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well mixed together.
Add the dry ingredients little by little to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin by adding the dry ingredients first and finish with them as well. Stir until everything is mixed together. Be cautious not to mix too much; you want the cake to be soft.
Mix the diced apples into the batter carefully.
Put the mixture into the baking pan, making sure it is spread evenly.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping by mixing 1/4 cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread this evenly on top of the cake batter in the pan.
Baking: Put the pan in the oven that you have already heated. Bake for around 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for around 15 minutes. Next, you can either enjoy it warm or wait until it cools down completely before cutting and serving it.
You can also pour a basic icing over the cake once it has cooled. Mix powdered sugar with a bit of milk until you get the thickness you want. Pour it gently on top of the cake and allow it to harden before serving.
