- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chopped apples.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
