How to Make Cream Cheese Apple Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Gently fold the apples into the batter along with the cinnamon.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost it with the cream cheese frosting.
