Apple Cinnamon Lasagna Cake is a perfect snack cake, quick and easy to make, moist, and I consider it a family favorite. No frosting, bakes in a loaf pan, and easy to transport if you are contributing to a party. Why not make two and freeze one? Or share with your neighbor? It's an awesome cake to bring to a picnic! —ChewWannaEat?

Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 8 tablespoons Salted Butter
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 1/2 cups AP Flour
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 3/4 cup Apple, Chopped
  • 5 or 6 Dates, Chopped (or choc chips, Raisins or Craisins
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts, Chopped
  • Extra Cinnamon and Sugar to sprinkle on Top
  • Caramel and Ice Cream are not required, but highly recommended
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and brown sugar with a fork, removing any lumps. Set aside.
  2. In a mixer bowl, beat sugar and butter for about 2 minutes at medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add Vanilla, salt, and baking powder. Alternately add flour and milk, mixing until incorporated.
  3. In a standard 5” x 9” loaf pan, butter the sides and bottom. Optional: Sprinkle Cinnamon/Sugar mix on bottom and sides of pan. Pour in approximately ¾” batter to cover the bottom of pan and sprinkle about 1/3 of the walnuts on top. Add half of remaining batter, sprinkle half of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture, half the apples, and about 1/3 the walnuts on top. Add remaining batter, remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture, remaining apples, and the last of the walnuts. Press lightly with your fingers or a fork to embed the toppings. You don’t want them falling off later.
  4. BAKE at 350°F for about 40-42 minutes. Use toothpick test. The top will be golden brown and if you used a glass loaf pan, you’ll be able to see that the sides are a nice rich brown.
