  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is creamy.
  5. Whisk together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet batter, alternating with milk.
  6. Grease the baking dish, pour in half the batter, layer with apple mixture, and top with the remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown, and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
