Cinnamon Apple Cake – Eggless Easy Recipe

Cinnamon Apple Cake

Cinnamon Apple Cake

Are you done planning the main menu for Thanksgiving and now stuck at Desserts? Let me tell you dear friends that things not be complicated just because you are hosting. Sometimes, easy and simple can totally steal the show, like this Super Easy & Eggless Cinnamon Apple Cake .

The warm aroma of cinnamon and Apples fill the whole house with Holiday Whiff, that brings the family and friends together on the dinner table. This simple and elegant cake tops the charts, since it is eggless as well. You can totally make it with eggs but if you have guests who are allergic to eggs, then this Eggless Cinnamon Apple is a fitting treat for them. They will thank you for a long time, I promise. You can bake it ahead of time and serve later.

I have to admit, that since I have started baking eggless cakes, I am more motivated towards baking. Now when I think back, I laugh at myself with amusement. There was a time, when Baking Cakes stressed me out completely.

Since I called myself an untamed cook, baking came as a challenge. Where I would eyeball and adjust the flavors, baking had taken that independence out of me. I was mad and I was frustrated when it came to baking 3 years ago. Slowly and slowly, I started learning and reading more about baking. Finally I can say that Baking has made me a DISCIPLINED COOK, which absolutely is a good virtue in any cook. Don’t you agree?

Did I mention above that my kids are a huge fan of Apple Desserts? My oldest daughter Aanya, had been asking me to bake an Apple Galette since a long time and finally I gave into her Apple requests and bakes this oh-so-delicious FALL PERFECT CINNAMON APPLE CAKE.

Cinnamon Apple Cake

Coming back to Eggless Cinnamon Apple Cake, I had thought of calling this cake as Sticky Pudding Cinnamon Apple Cake. This cake has beautiful natural caramel taste with all that brown sugar and apple syrup working its way around. It makes cake not only caramel-ish but also like a sticky toffee kinda texture, and at the same time, it is soft and mushy and warm almost like an Apple Pie. I got you drooling, right? Apples are really forgiving when used in cooking and so much more to the dish.

SO the HIGHLIGHTS of this CINNAMON APPLE CAKE are –

1. It is EGGLESS
2. It is Sticky Toffee-ish
3. It is Caramel-ish
4. It is Apple Pie-ish
5. Made with handful easily available ingredients, just like most of my recipes – easy, efficient, effortless and delicious.

German Apple Cake

German Apple Cake (Versunkener Apfelkuchen) is a traditional German dessert that is so easy to make even if you aren’t totally kitchen confident! With a simple batter that rises up and bakes around the apples this easy apple coffee cake is the perfect everyday dessert that tastes best with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Sunken Apple Cake is one of the easiest cakes to make! With a simple batter that rises up and bakes around the apples this coffee cake is easy enough to make every day but also special enough for a holiday dinner.

This traditional apple cake is served with a dusting of powdered sugar on top and a big dollop of whipped cream. But for special occasions, I love to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. So delicious!

What also makes this cake a great choice for holidays, potlucks, or parties is that it tastes best on the next day. I always make this cake one day in advance! It is moister and more flavorful on the next day because the apples will infuse the cake.

In Germany, this cake is often served in the afternoon for “coffee and cake” time (Kaffee und Kuchen). It’s a coffee break at around 3 pm where people sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee with a piece of cake, a pastry, or cookies. My grandparents do this every day.

Tips and Tricks for Making German Apple Cake

• Making small cuts but not cutting through the apples makes them bake quicker. Using a small knife for this work best.
• You want to fit as many apple quarters as possible in the pan and they should be placed quite snug. This recipe doesn’t make much batter because the batter will rise up and bake around the apples.
• This cake tastes great warm but it tasted even better on the next day in my opinion.
• You can brush the apples with hot apricot jam after you take the cake out of the oven. This adds a nice shine!
• You need cake flour for this recipe! If you don’t have it at home you can easily make your own (see below).

How to make cake flour from all-purpose flour

To make cake flour from all-purpose flour, you measure one cup of all-purpose flour, remove two tablespoons flour from the cup and add 2 tbsp cornstarch. Sift the mixture two times to evenly distribute the cornstarch.

1 cup AP flour – 2 Tablespoons AP flour + 2 Tablespoons cornstarch = 1 cup cake flour

What apples to use for Apple Cake?

You need small apples for this recipe, so they get soft while baking and to fit more into the pan. I always use what I have on hand. Golden Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, or Boskop apples, all taste great in this cake. The quality of the apples is really important because the cake is so simple and the apples are the main flavor. If you use a really sour apple, don’t skip the sweetened whipped cream because this cake will not be as sweet as an American cake.

How to make Vanilla Sugar from Scratch

To make vanilla sugar at home you need 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 vanilla bean. Place the sugar into the bowl of a food processor. Scrape out the vanilla bean using the back of a knife and scrape the seeds into the bowl with the sugar. Pulse the sugar and vanilla seeds until well incorporated. Store vanilla sugar together with the scraped-out vanilla bean in an airtight container until ready to use.

Can you freeze Apple Cake?

Yes, you can freeze the baked cake. Let it cool to room temperature, cover it airtight with plastic wrap and freeze it up to 3 months.

How long will Apple Cake stay fresh?

This cake will stay fresh 3-4 days covered at room temperature. It tastes best on the second day in my opinion. Sprinkle it with powdered sugar just before serving.

What to serve with apple cake?

Whipped cream is traditionally served with German apple cake. But I also love a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

How to make whipped cream?

To make whipped cream (Schlagsahne), you need 1 cup cold heavy cream and 1 tbsp sugar or vanilla sugar. To make it easier and more foolproof, place a metal mixing bowl and metal whisk into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. Put the sugar into the mixing bowl and add the whipping cream. Whisk just until the cream reaches stiff peaks. Don’t overwhip or you get butter not whipped cream! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 10 hours.

Tools used for making this Apple Cake Recipe

Springform Pan : You need one of these for this cake. 9-inch and 10-inch pans work both.
Vanilla Sugar: In Germany, vanilla sugar is used instead of vanilla extract. You can buy it on Amazon or make your own.
Cake Flour: You need cake flour for this recipe. German all-purpose flour equals American cake flour. Using American all-purpose flour in this recipe would result in a dry cake.

Eggless apple cake recipe | How to make eggless apple cake

By swasthi , on November 9, 2019 , 52 Comments , Jump to Recipe

Eggless apple cake recipe – Soft, moist & delicious apple cake made without eggs. This apple cake is super simple to make & can be baked in a oven, cooker or even in a pot. It has a delicate aroma of apple & cinnamon with a light texture.

I have used organic all purpose flour but it can be baked with half wheat flour and half all purpose flour. If you like the intense nutty flavor of whole wheat in cakes then you can make it using only whole wheat flour.

Whole wheat flour usually makes the eggless cakes dense so I have not used it here.

If you do not have a oven, then you can bake this following this post on Cooker cake recipe. If you are a beginner do watch the video.

I have made this eggless apple cake with butter as it enhances the flavor of cake. However the recipe works with oil as well.

Preparation for eggless apple cake

1. Wash the apples. I used 2 medium sized apples. Do not use very sour apples as it makes the cake sour.

2. Peel and cube them. Add them to a blender.

3. Make a smooth puree.

4. Pour milk to a mixing bowl. Do not use chilled milk. Add sugar.

5. Measure and use only half cup of the apple puree. I was left with just another 2 to 3 tbsp of the puree which I stirred in my black tea and strained.

6. Melt butter and use only 1/3 cup.

7. Pour ¾ tbsp vinegar or lemon juice to activate the soda. I used apple cider vinegar. I am not sure if you can skip this. I also added 1 tsp vanilla extract which you can skip as the cinnamon powder we are using is good enough to flavor the cake.

8. Give all these a good mix. It is just fine even if the sugar doesn’t dissolve.

9. Place a sieve over the mixing bowl. Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt if desired. Please be sure that you measure baking powder & soda correctly without interchanging one for the other.

10. Give a good stir.

11. Sieve and begin to incorporate the dry ingredients with the wet.

12. Do not over mix. Just mix until both are well combined.

13. Pour to the cake pan. Tap the pan to the counter 2 to 3 times.

14. Bake at 170 C for 26 to 30 mins. A cake tester inserted comes out clean or with slight crumbs. Leave the cake pan on the wired rack for 5 to 7 mins.

15. Then invert it and cool completely.

Slice eggless apple cake only after it has cooled completely. I sprinkled some powdered sugar.

Hello Swasthi, the cake turned out very soft, moist and delicious. I substituted oil for butter. Thank you for such an easy and tasty recipe.

Hello Dhanya
Glad to know! Thanks for leaving a comment

Hi Swasti
I really love your recipes and have successfully tried many. You have several recipes for eggless cakes which use vinegar/lime/curds. I don’t keep any of these ingredients in my house as they don’t agree with me. Could you pls suggest if I could use eggs instead & how many and if any other proportions would change.
Once again thank u for ur lovely delicious recipes which never fail.

Hi Sue,
You are welcome! Thank you so much!
For this recipe, you can substitute milk with 2 eggs. Reduce vinegar to half tablespoon. If you don’t have it you can skip. But it makes the cake light. Follow the same steps. Adjust the baking time slightly. Hope this helps.

You mention if you have excess mixture to make 2 cup cakes. Do these cook for the same time as I was thinking of just making cup cakes.

Hi Jo,
they should take around 23 mins. But not sure as I have not noted down though I baked them a few times

Made this yesterday for my family it’s absolutely delicious. The cake is moist and fluffy. Would recommend to try this recipe

Hi Vishnu
Glad to know. Thank you

Hi Swasthi… thaaaank youuuu
The recipe worked beautifully for me. I took a little extra apple puree…this extra I kept a little chunky…and it settled as a layer at the bottom.
My oven baked it well at 150 degrees for 45 mins….otherwise my Morphy Richards otg burns cakes on the top and leaves them raw inside.
My cake experience can be viewed on my insta @shubhra_misra
I have tagged you .
Simple easy successful recipe…thanks again.

Welcome Shubhra
Thank you!

I am regular visitor of your receipes and have been doing amazing with cooking…Thx to your well described blogs.

I need to double the size of cake, can you confirm, if I can double the ingredients ?

Hi SD
Glad to know! Yes you can double. Use two 6 inch pans or one 9X2 or 10X2 inch pan. Baking time does not change.

Thanks for your prompt response

Made this recipe for my family and it was absolutely delicious! It was very soft and fluffy, would definitely recommend this.

Also, I added chopped apples to the cake batter for an added apple flavour. 🙂

Thanks for this!

Hi,
Just tried your apple cake recipe. Added brown sugar instead of white sugar and used eggs, very amazing sponge like texture cake, flawless recipe. Was a instant hit with kids. Appreciate all your efforts.

Glad to know Priya
Thank you!
🙂

Hi Swasthi

Another awesome cake recipe. Have tried your chocolate, banana and this cake recipes. Your step by step instructions make it super easy for me to make the cake. Just one question. Can we make pineapple cake using this recipe? I mean by adding pineapple puree instead of apple?

Or maybe I can follow the banana cake recipe for pineapple cake?

Glad to know Seema
I haven’t tried this one with pineapple puree. Not sure how it will turn out.

Hi Swasthi, I just made this cake and it tasted delicious. For health reasons I used half atta half maida, replaced half of the oil with yogurt, reduced sugar significantly to only 30ml. However it took 45mins to cook ,,using 6″x2″ tin. Thanks for yr wonderful recipe

Hi Karen
You are welcome! Glad to know it came out good. I guess due to yogurt it took longer to bake. Thank you!

I tried this today since my baby has been asking for Apple Cake. And it turned out fabulous! Thank you Swasthi for such a lovely recipe thats super easy to make and so yummy.

Hi Mridhu
You are welcome! Glad to know it turned out good. Thank you

How does one bake in the microwave or in cooker? Please explain in detail. Thanks

Hi,
You can check this post on cooker cake

Hi
Do we have to use apple cider vinegar?

Hi Nancy
Yes I use apple cider vinegar

Tried this at home for my 2 year old daughter and she loved it. She has a similar cake in school. Followed the recipe as is. Added vanilla essence, skipped the cinnamon powder. Took 3/4th atta and 1/4th Maida

Hello Sneha
Glad your kid loved the cake. thank you

Hi Swasthi ,tnq fr de recipe;wd like to make it but can i use lemon juice instead of vinegar?tnx again!

Hi Sandhya,
Lemon juice works but vinegar makes the cake lighter.

Thanks for the recipe.Cake was yummy and soft.

3/4 tbsp of vinegar is what it says in the ingredients and that’s how much I used. And after I put the cake in the oven I decided to look through the picture step by step instructions. There it says 1 tsp 🙁 hope the cake turns out ok…

Hi Tamara,
1 tsp vinegar is enough to activate 1/4 tsp baking soda. 3/4 tbsp is about 1.5 tsps vinegar. It will not affect the cake in any way. I will update the post. Hope you enjoy the cake!

Yes, it was a deep six-inch tin with a removable base. I think the quantities were fairly accurate, although with grated apple it’s hard to be certain.

I tried again last night after first cooking the apples into a puree in a saucepan, but I had to add water to keep them from sticking to the bottom and I think that introduced quite a bit of extra moisture — the batter seemed much runnier than before and I added an extra tablespoon of flour before cooking. This time I baked the cake for 45 minutes, tested it cautiously and it was still pretty liquid. After 55 minutes it was done. One thing I did notice was that this version domed up a lot in the middle during cooking, which I think means that it cooked around the outside long before the middle was set.

The recipe probably does really require a blender to make the puree, I think 🙁

Hi,
Yes this recipe works best with pureed raw apples. I have another recipe of carrot cake which uses grated carrots. I am just thinking that recipe may work well with grated raw apples. You can check the link here – Eggless carrot cake. Thank you!

I cooked the cake for half an hour in a pre-heated oven and tested it with a skewer that came out absolutely clean, but when it had cooled I discovered the centre was still semi-liquid 🙁
I see someone else had the same problem, so there may be an issue with undercooked mixture simply not sticking to the tester – I know the batter peeled away from the sides of the mixing bowl in a surprising manner when I was tipping it in. Or possibly it was because I used grated apple instead of puree… the recipe says “needs no blender or mixer”, but then it tells you to use a food mixer to create a puree out of the chopped apple. I didn’t have one, so I grated it!

On the other hand, I ate the undercooked cake as pudding and it was absolutely delicious; I shall definitely have to try the recipe again, leaving it in the oven for longer this time.
