Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 75 g Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 60 ml Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 4 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 10 g Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round springform cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually mix in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold the thinly sliced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated and distributed.
Pour the apple-loaded batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the springform and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
