Instructions
-
Prep the Dry Ingredients: Start by sieving the buckwheat flour, corn flour, and baking powder. This ensures an even texture in your loaf cake. Set it aside.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F), ensuring it’s hot enough for perfect baking.
-
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon powder together. Set aside for later use.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar (or icing sugar if you prefer) until the mixture becomes light and creamy.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Once the eggs are incorporated, add the vanilla extract and blend again.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually add the sieved dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk. Use the cut and fold technique to gently incorporate the ingredients, ensuring the batter remains light and fluffy.
-
Layer the Cake Batter: Grease a loaf pan and pour half of the prepared batter into the pan. Evenly distribute half of the cubed apples over the batter, followed by half of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
-
Complete the Cake Layers: Pour the remaining batter over the apples, and then top with the remaining apples and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
-
Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
