Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners.
- Peel, core, and grate the apple. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the grated apple and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined and smooth. Be cautious not to overmix the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the apple cakes to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you wish to add icing, prepare a simple glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk and a dash of vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cakes.
- Serve the little apple cakes as they are or with a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps in achieving a smooth batter.
- When adding the eggs, do so one at a time to ensure they incorporate well into the mixture.
- Peel, core, and finely chop the apple to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the batter.
- Use a toothpick to check if the cakes are done. Insert it into the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, the cakes are ready.
- Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and running off.
Congratulations, you've successfully made delicious little apple cakes! Whether served at a family gathering, a special event, or just as a treat for yourself, these cakes are sure to be a hit. Enjoy the delightful blend of apple and vanilla flavors in every bite.
