Beat together butter and sugar at medium speed until light and
fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat
in vanilla.
At low speed, alternately beat flour mixture and milk into butter
mixture. Stir in apples. Pour into prepared pan.

55 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Turn
cake out onto rack to cool completely.
To prepare icing, beat together confectioners' sugar, butter, and
cocoa powder at low speed. Beat in milk. Spread frosting over top
and sides of cake.

Baking Tips: To test if baking powder is still fresh, combine 1
teaspoon of it with 1/3 cup hot water. If the mixture bubbles
vigorously, the powder is fine to use. McIntosh or Cortland apples
can be substituted for the Granny Smith Apples. This cake can also
be baked in a 9" round cake pan. Allow a few minutes less baking
time.
