Ingredients for Easy Apple and Cinnamon Loaf Cake

Before we start, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need for this delightful treat:

Loaf Cake Ingredients:

2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp apple pie seasoning
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp liquid coconut oil
2 gala apples (cored)
1-2 tbsp water
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 stick of butter (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp Vanilla extract

Brown Sugar Swirl:

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Frosting:

1 bag of organic vanilla frosting
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 stick of butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp almond milk

Baking Your Moist Apple Loaf Cake

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. While it warms up, lightly grease four mini loaf pans and set them aside.
Prepare the Apple Sauce: In a food processor, blend the cored gala apples with water until apple sauce is formed. This will take a bit of scraping down the sides. Pour 1/4 cup of apple sauce into a small bowl.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, apple pie spice, and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Combine the softened butter and sugar for about 1 minute and 30 seconds using a mixer with the paddle attachment. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides. Then, add the eggs, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix on low until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture and mix until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Create a Brown Sugar Swirl: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Layer the Batter: Spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pans, filling them 1/3 of the way. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top (about 2-3 tsp). Then, spoon more batter evenly on top to fill 2/3 of the pan.
Bake and Cool: Bake for 23-27 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the loaves to cool for 45 minutes on a baking rack before gently removing them.

Irresistible Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

While your loaf cakes are cooling, let’s prepare the scrumptious cinnamon cream cheese frosting:

In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy (approximately 2 minutes).
Add the remaining ingredients – the Singing Dog Vanilla vanilla frosting, powdered sugar, and almond milk.
Mix on low until slightly combined, then turn up the speed to high for about 2 minutes.

Once your loaf cakes have cooled, it’s time to frost them with this delectable cream cheese frosting generously.
