How to Make Apple Cake With Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch oblong baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the icing: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and creamy.
  10. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the icing reaches your desired consistency. Pour icing over the completely cooled cake and spread evenly.
