Get ready to indulge in the most epic dessert extravaganza of your life!
Today, we’re diving into the world of cakes, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!. No more boring, dry cakes and bland frostings!

Imagine a cake that’s so soft and moist, it’s like biting into a cloud. And the best part? It’s loaded with apples and cinnamon, giving it that perfect autumnal flavor.
So, how do you make this magical cake? It all starts with cooking your apples to make them soft and delicious. Chop up a couple of apples – you’ll need about 2 cups of diced apples – and cook them up with some sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and water. Let your apples cool, and the syrup will thicken up, making it absolutely glorious.

While your apples are cooling, make your cake batter. You’ll need to add some applesauce to your butter and sugar, along with some eggs and vanilla. The batter will look a little odd, but trust me, it’s okay. Next, add in your dry ingredients and some Greek yogurt, alternating them as you add them. Yes, you could sub this for sour cream too!
Now it’s time to assemble the cake. Spread half of the batter in a prepared 9×13 inch pan, then pour your delicious apple concoction on top. Sprinkle some brown sugar and cinnamon on top of that, and finish by spreading the remainder of your batter to cover the apples and a little more brown sugar.

When your cake is baked, you need to poke it a little bit. Grab a butter knife and stab it 31 times. Exactly. Then, whip up a little glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Pour this over top of your holey-hot cake, and the glaze will coat the cake and sink in, leaving you with a crispy, sugary coating.

Let the heavens open up and sing to you now… Let it cool a few minutes, and then stick your face in it. Or use a fork. Whatever. This cake is a game-changer, and you won’t regret making it.
And the best part? It’s easy to make and is just like the old-fashioned donut! Store it airtight for up to 3 days, and enjoy every last crumb.
