Ingredients

  • 3 cups or 360 grams of all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder

  • 1 cup or 226 grams of room-temperature butter
  • 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large room-temperature eggs
  • 3 Honeycrisp apples

Method

  1. Set oven to 350°F and butter and flour two nine-inch cake pans, optionally lining with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together in a large bowl: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  3. Cream 1 cup butter and 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  4. Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and mix for about 5 minutes.
  5. Crack four large eggs into a bowl to check for shells, then add eggs to the mixture one at a time, mixing well.
  6. Peel and grate three Honeycrisp apples.
  7. Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350°F or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  9. While the cake bakes, brown 1 cup unsalted butter over medium heat until light amber, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
