steps

Let's make it

▢
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan.
▢
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
▢
In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
▢
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Fold in the diced apples.
▢
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
▢
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, combine powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk. Heat over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
▢
Once the cake is done, let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the warm cinnamon glaze over the cake. Let it cool completely before serving.
