Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170C (fan). Grease an 8×10” tin.
Combine the diced apples with 45g granulated sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
Whisk together the plain flour, 200g granulated sugar, and baking powder in another bowl.
Mix the milk, vanilla, and eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the melted butter.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared tin, spreading evenly.
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the batter.
Mix together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and 2 tbsp cinnamon. Drizzle this mixture over the apples to create a lovely swirl.
Pour the remaining batter over the apple and cinnamon layer, smoothing it out gently.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Whisk together the icing sugar and milk for the glaze until smooth and glossy.
Drizzle the glaze on top of the cooled cake and serve warm.

Notes

For variations, you can try adding chopped nuts, using coconut milk, or adding pears to the mix. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
