This Apple Cinnamon Cake will be your new favorite cake recipe for fall. It's light and fluffy, and so incredibly moist inside. It's flavored with vanilla, orange zest, and cinnamon, which pair beautifully with the tender baked apples.
This cake is inspired by an old-fashioned apple cinnamon cake that my parent's neighbor used to make for them back in the 1960s. It's a cross between a dessert and a snack cake. It can be served at tea time, or with coffee at the start of a brunch.

THE BEST APPLE CINNAMON CAKE RECIPE
Serves 8
Print Recipe Here entertainingwi...
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (224 g) Land O' Lakes salted butter (if outside the U.S.A use unsalted butter)
1 cup (220g) white sugar (for best texture use Superfine, Caster Sugar)
3 eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
3 Tbsp (45 ml) orange zest
2 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, sifted
2 1/2 tsp (12.5ml) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2.5ml) Kosher salt
2 1/2 cups (312 g) diced apples
3/4 cup (112g) chopped pecans
! Topping:
2 tsp (10 ml) sugar
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
Spay a 9" cheesecake pan with baking spray and distribute it well with a pastry brush. Set aside.
Beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until nice and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating in between each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed.
Add vanilla extract and orange zest beat together and set this mixture aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, in thirds, gently beating until combined and scraping down the bowl as needed.
Add the apples and pecans and beat gently with the stand mixer, or stir in with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and smooth it out with an offset spatula.
Whisk together the topping sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle it over the top of the cake batter and swirl it into the batter with a skewer or fork.
Bake for 45 minutes, then cover with a sheet of foil and bake for another 5 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely and then just before serving run a sharp knife around the perimeter of the pan, to loosen the cake.
Release the spring and transfer the cake from the pan with a cake lifter or large spatula, to a cooling rack or cake stand.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve

@@EntertainingWithBeth TOTAL HIT!!! 11 people were totally blown away haha! Making this one tomorrow, as its 15.20 already. I don't have a 9 inch spring form, would this recipe work in a bundt pan?
I’m so excited for the fall recipes and this one will be a great addition! Thank you. 💕
Oh yes! This is a great one for fall and the Holidays too! So yummy!
Yummy, Yummy and Yummy 😋. So simple to make and delicious easy! 🥮
I have to agree with you golden raisins would be beautiful in this cake. Thanks and Happy Fall!

Your recipes always get me feeling hungry ❤ Love your videos
Thank you 😋 So glad you enjoy them! :)
I never used to like raisins, but now I eat them in oatmeal (for extra fiber) and I used to like carrot raisin salad, but haven't made that in a long while, and I love raisin bread, but only toasted with butter and a light sprinkle of cinnamon & sugar. 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
Yummy, pass me two scoops of vanilla ice cream to go with this looking delicious apple cake. 🍎
LOL! YES! Great like that too! :)
I made it! So so good! And so easy. Thanks for the recipe.

Isnt it and so comfy too! The link is in the description :) enjoy!!
I made this fantabulos cake today! Another hit from Beth! Merci
Looks delicious. I'm not crazy about raisins but like currents or golden raisins. I would use those options. Going save in Pinterest. TY 4 sharing Beth.
Oh yes both of those would be great! Hope you enjoy!!
I was wondering when you'd mention the raisins !!!! Hahahahhaa. So funny. I will definitely add them. I love your videos Beth bc i really like your personality. Thank you so much for your content !! 💓💓💓
Regards from Argentina!!
This looks like a perfect cake. I will definitely be trying this. I appreciate the use of the cheesecake pan as well. I love your little round cake rack! Thanks for sharing this!
Ha! Oh isn't it cute? I found it on Etsy :) A cute little vintage rack I couldn't resist!
I love baked goods with fresh fruit in them. Great tips about the temps of ingredients. The flavors are delicious & it looks great.
Oh they are SO good! And great for fall! Hope you enjoy!!
This looks delicious 🤤
So good! Hope you enjoy!!
I just stumbled onto your channel and this cake looks yummy:) I just watch your potato Anna or something like that and that look good too. These are must try. Thank you for sharing.
You are so Welcome!! Hope you enjoy and so glad you found me! 💕👌
Can’t wait to make it! ❤️
This looks right up my alley minus any raisins. Love them raw but not cooked. I'm really looking forward to all your seasonal holiday content, although I'm not looking forward to winter here in N.Y.
I like the idea of using raisins, could you swap dried cranberries for the raisins? That flavor marries well with apples and oranges and is a seasonal ingredient for fall. Also how would walnuts do if you could not use pecans (in-law has allergic reaction to certain nuts)?
Oh sure you could do dried or I would actually use fresh cranberries (1 cup) then lower the apples to 1 cup and sure chop the walnuts finely and use them instead of the pecans. It would be great! :) Hope you enjoy!!
Can’t wait to make this - may even add golden raisins!
Great cake you gave me a good ideas. I would love to have a piece of cake with a cup of tea right now that’s how delicious it looked
Ha! Oh it is! Definitely worth a try! :)
This cake looks delicious and I love that you don't have to make a frosting to decorate, good enough as is.
Just to be sure - is the weight for the 2 cups of all purpose flour correct at 180g? Want to give this one a try. 🤗
Good catch! It should be 280g! So sorry about that just fixed it in the description and the blog! Thank you!!
Have you tried adding dried cranberries?
No but I bet that would be delicious too! Soak them in a little orange juice first to plump them up, then drain before stirring them in.
Thank you Beth ,as always is so nice to watch your video. I will make it as soon as I can. ❤
Hope you like it! It's a yummy one! So happy to hear you enjoy the videos! :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth during the covid time I had so much time to watch your video but now whenever I can I watch it and when I bake your cake I share it with neighbours and friends and they love your recipe. Thank you for taking time and share it with us. ❤️♥️🙏🙏
@tabbyborman3262 awww so nice to hear that! Im so glad they enjoy it!!
Looks delicious!!!❤
I love your videos and recipes, Beth! Thank you for all you do! Will you do a "Christmas in France" video on day? Thank you!🙂
Oh yes you can bet on that one day! Not this year, but hopefully down the road one day! :)
I love golden raisins. It’s such a shame that dried fruit has been replaced by choc chips in most recipes. There is a loss of nutrients and texture and choc chips can be pretty boring and lack the zing that fruit provides.
Agreed! I actually dislike chocolate chips in most things! Nothing more disappointing than hearing somebody say, "I've brought banana bread!" and then seeing they've added chocolate chips... 😕
I agree absolutely 😋😋🤗🤗😋😋🤗🤗
❤❤❤
Looks delicious! After you mentioned Christmas I was thinking that you could substitute the apples for cranberries…..which would also pair well with the orange and pecans.
Definitely giving this a try! It looks delicious. I just bought apples so perect timing for this video!
Perfect! I think you will love this one! :)
Beth, your apple cinnamon cake looks absolutely gorgeous. You look very similar to Amber from SweetAmbs.
Hello! Will this recipe work with gluten free flour? Thanks 😊
Oh sure! Use a good cup for cup GF Flour like Bob's Red Mill or the actual Brand Cup4Cup. They are great! Hope you enjoy!
@@EntertainingWithBeth that’s great! Thank you!
Hi Beth, if we’re using unsalted butter do we need to add extra salt since you used salted? Thank you. This looks easy and delicious! 🙏😊
Yes i would increase it to 3/4 tsp total hope u enjoy!!
I really wanted a new recipe to incorporate apples for the fall and this looks perfect. Thanks for sharing! I would also love to see more recipe ideas for my air fryer. I am really trying to limit the use of my fryer and want to make more air fryer recipes that will appeal to my husband and four hungry teenagers. Not necessarily more healthy but definitely with less oil in the air fryer. I homeschool so having a few good recipes that my teens can make on their own in the air fryer would be great, especially since they are always hungry.
Oh that's a great idea! My kids love the air fryer quiches I make, here's all my air fryer recipes you may enjoy! :) entertainingwithbeth.com/category/air-fryer-recipes/
@@EntertainingWithBeth Thank you!
Hi Beth! Love apple desserts. I am going to try your recipe. What brand of All purpose flour do you use?
This cake looks so good. I wonder if I could bake it the day before I serve it to guests... or is it better baked the same day? Tk U!
Sure you could, but truthfully it's always better baked fresh the day of! And it's an easy cake, it won't take you long :) Promise!
Gosh, I could not wait to bake it and I already have done it today. It actually looks very nice. I am sure the guests will like it tomorrow too. Thank you so much for answering my question !! xoxo@@EntertainingWithBeth
Hi Beth, I made this cake it was sooooo delicious!! What brand zester are you using? Thank you for sharing!🤗🤗
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Super yummy isn’t it? I am using a microplane zester but weirdly, I feel like they stopped taking it because I have never been able to find that again. But sometimes you can find ones that are similar that are marketed as cheese and chocolate graters. They have the widest grate.👌
@@EntertainingWithBeth thank you!🤗
Looks very yummy, I will give it a try.
Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Happy Fall 🍂🍁🎃
My pleasure! I hope you enjoy!!
could i make this in a removable bottom tart pan? or would the texture be different?
What a beautiful cake! It's funny - I'm not a huge apple fan, but I like the IDEA of apple desserts and recipes. If I were going to make an apple cake, though, THIS would be it! Absolutely! I'm actually considering making it, it's just that pretty!
As for raisins? I grew up in a strongly divided household. My mother hated raisins for some reason - just despised them. My father loved them and one of his favorites was raisin pie! A couple of times he dropped hints which she completely ignored so both times he stopped at the A&P (that's showing my age!) and brought home raisin pies. After that, she felt guilted into producing a raisin pie here or there or making apple pies and adding raisins to one especially for him! I ended up somewhere in the middle - I don't hate them, but I never really think of them except for making mince pies! 😂
Ha! Oh my raisin pie! Now that is something I MUST try ha! Was there a cake component to it? Or just a pie filled totally with raisins? Ha! Sounds intriguing! And I must be showing my age too, because I grew up with the A & P too! :) Are they still around?
@@EntertainingWithBeth
No, they're all closed now. I was amazed when I moved to this small Southern town in 2015 and they still had an A&P! It was strange - not the bigger supermarket A&P from my teens and 20s, but more like the small grocery store from childhood before supermarkets completely took over. Anyway, it shortly closed and I think that's when the company finally went completely out of business.
I'm surprised you never had raisin pie - I'm certain you'd like it! It's funny to me that my grandmother (my father's mother which is where I'm guessing my father got his love of raisin pie) also made mashed potato filling or dressing with the turkey at Thanksgiving. Both are Pennsylvania Dutch and she was 100% Irish! She grew up with servants (la-de-da! 😂) so maybe they had a German cook? 🤷🏼♀️ Anyway, long story, but I don't have any of my old recipes here with me. I took a look on Google and the one that seems to be what I remember is this one. It definitely had both white and brown sugars, had lemon juice as the acid and included allspice. The others I saw were missing one of these elements. But I'm sure the deep dish one from Love Flips is delicious, too. I'd just add a little allspice. 😊

Have a wonderful week, Beth!
Thanks Beth I will make this being in Oz your recipes are the opposite to our seasons but I can look them up , love the mixer which kitchen aid pro is it
Oh sure you could actually make this cake with fresh peaches instead of the apples and it would be equally good! And sure the mixer is this model, I love it! It's a pricy investment but worth all the money for the amount of times I use it! Ha! amzn.to/3PYwf2L
I have a kitchen aid and a kitchen aid pro I like to make bread
When you said raisins I was like oh gosh here she goes again with the raisins. But don’t get me wrong, I LOVE raisins and think they would be fantastic in this. #supportyourraisins! 😂
Ha! Yes! Support those raisins! Raisin-lovers unite! LOL!
This looks so delicious, and I love the orange zest too. How easy do you think it would be to make as cupcakes rather than a cake? I have a special event coming up and wanted to do individual small cakes for guests.
Sure you could do that, but just use the parchment non-stick liners since the cake is soo delicate you don't want all the crumbs sticking to the papers :). Have fun at the event!
Thank you! @@EntertainingWithBeth
Maybe you could make in the mini bundt pans and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping in the bottoms? It wouldn't come out crackly, but I don't know if it would just bake into the cakes, make a syrupy topping when you flip them out, or if it would burn on the bottoms 😬. You'd definitely need to a test run first, experimenting with different ways of using the cinnamon-sugar.
Can I replace the castor sugar with soft brown sugar?
Question: After you swirl the cinnamon in the batter, do you level the batter off again with the offset spatula? Thanks in advance!
Nope! No need! Just pop it in the oven and the heat will melt it and level it out! 💕🙌
Thanks! Can't wait to try it!
Hi Beth, I love the recipe I’m going to try it but I like to try it with the raisins. If I use the golden raisins do I put it right into the batter ?
Yes, exactly stir them right in the batter with the pecans. I think it’ll be great like that. I hope you enjoy it!
@@EntertainingWithBeth thank you I’m going to make it this weekend
I like to drizzle some Carmel syrup over mine when I make one
Oh sure you could do that too! Sounds yummy!
My husband’s Greek grandmother used to swear by “Swans Down” cake flour instead of all purpose. Any thoughts?
Well, I have gone down that road on a cupcake testing mission once thinking that it would really make the difference, and...meh? Couldn't really tell! Ha! I think sifting the flour makes a bigger difference. But you could put it to the test! These were the cupcakes and I personally think they are great with just regular all-purpose flour! entertainingwithbeth.com/the-best-moist-chocolate-cupcake-recipe/
@@EntertainingWithBeth 👍
Can I bake this in a tube pan?
I feel it needs a serving of fresh cream on the side
Hi Beth.....how long do i bake it if m using a loaf tin? Pls help
Oh at least an hour but it may be a bit fragile for that type of pan unless you add 2-3 tbsp more flour for a bit more structure 👌
How do i get an ingredients list?
You can find it in the video description below 👇 or on my blog here enjoy! entertainingwithbeth.com/apple-cinnamon-cake/
I'm sorry but I don't get the raisin hate thingy...that cake does look delish 😋
Ha! I know right? They are so yummy! Ha!
apples are peeled?
Yes! I peel them for this recipe. It makes the cake lighter.👌
I think Ill add the currants instead of the pecans as no one likes nut in this house
Cooked/baked raisins...yuck. Personal preference, of course.
This looks so comforting especially as the weather starts cooling down!
Quick request Beth - would you be able to do some new recipe ideas for packed lunches that travel well? I've been bringing my own lunch to work and I don't always have access to a microwave, so it'd be amazing to have a few extra recipes in the repertoire that can be enjoyed hot or cold and where necessary on the go! Bonus if it can be made ahead in batches and stored in the freezer that would make life so much easier
Great suggestion! I'll work on that!!
Fellow raisin haters! Do you feel like you are at battle with Beth about these raisins?! Lol looks yummy almost time for my annual apple picking trip (if it ever stops raining 🤦🏻♀️) I will have to set some apples aside to try this cake!! Sunday night dinner dessert anyone?
LOL! I know it's like I'm some kind of Raisin Pusher?! LOL! I should have t-shirts made "#TeamRaisin!" LOL! Hope you enjoy! And have fun apple-picking! That sounds so great!
I am #TeamRaisin especially in bread pudding. ❤😂
TEAM RAISIN😂 Especially in rice pudding.
I have a few apple cake recipes, but none use the orange zest. This one is special. It rose beautifully Beth. Tfs.
*I hope your parents will be in a video before years end. 🙋
@@ggbice ha! Oh yes i’ll have to lure them back on for this years holiday episode!! 🤣👌💕
Love raisins… they could only make this better… but alas I am low carb now and can’t enjoy them (or this cake). But love watching you make it!
Thank you for this recipe, Beth. I just pulled this cake from the oven and it is beautiful!!
My husband just walked into the kitchen and remarked on the aroma 😊 We can’t wait to try it ♥️🍁
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Karen
Could I bake this in a tube pan instead of a spring form pan?
Oh sure you could do that too! :)
Looks delicious. I wonder how this would taste using oatmeal flour. I’ve been using it more lately. Kristin Cavallari’s cookbooks have a lot of oatmeal flour recipes and I’ve enjoyed them.
Oh sure you could try that! I use it in Oatflour pancakes and it's delicious! entertainingwithbeth.com/oat-flour-pancakes/
@@EntertainingWithBeth I'll try it and let you know how it tastes.
how many raisins would you add, if using?
I would do 1/2 cup :) 👌
How I like it when you cook. You are my favorite and I would like to see more of your recipes
I would like to thank you so much for the recipe of this AMAZING cake! I made it today and it turned out so delicious. I ended up having 2 slices 😂. There were so many layers of taste buds , I love the addition of orange zest! 😘😋😋
You are so welcome! Yes isn't the orange the best part?! It's so yummy! I'm so glad you enjoyed it too!
Looks great Beth. Could chopped nuts be added to this cake?
At 4:05?🤔
@@lauramitchell6725 what is 4:05?
The point where I add the nuts LOL! :)
Yes, absolutely! I use pecans at 4:05 but you could also use walnuts too if you prefer! I hope you enjoy! :)

Made this today…. Fabulous fall cake!
So glad you liked it!! Isn’t it yummy?!
Whats funny is you put it on the cooling rack and it was already cool. The cheese cake pan was nit hot you touched it
Oh it wasn't for cooling ha! I use it also to catch the powdered sugar on the board :)
