Apple Sour Cream Cake

 A classic Apple Sour Cream Cake is a moist, tender cake made with tangy sour cream and fresh, crisp apples. The sour cream adds rich moisture to the crumb while balancing the sweetness of the brown sugar and fruit. [1, 2]

Ingredients (9x13-inch Pan)

½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream (full-fat works best)
2 cups fresh apples (peeled and chopped, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) [1, 2, 3]

Nut & Brown Sugar Topping [1]

½ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons melted butter [1]

Instructions

Prep the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. [1]
Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating well. [1]
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. [1]
Alternate wet and dry: Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing just until combined. [1]
Add apples: Gently fold in the chopped fresh apples. Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan. [1]
Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix the chopped nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake batter. [1]
Bake: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving. [1, 2]
