Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 125 grams Butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 3 medium Apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth out the top. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter, slightly pressing them in.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
Once the cake is completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
