A Truly Decadent Apple Cake Recipe: A Moist and Fragrant Delight

👩‍🍳 Preparation Steps

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and  flour a 22–24 cm round cake tin or line it with baking paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Apples

Peel, core, and thinly slice (or dice) the  apples. To prevent browning, toss them with a little lemon  juice.

3. Make the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
Add the melted butter (or oil) and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

4. Add Dry Ingredients

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold them into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until smooth and homogeneous.

5. Assemble the Cake

Fold half the apples into the batter. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, then arrange the remaining apple slices on top in a rosette pattern or press them slightly into the batter.
Sprinkle with brown sugar for a caramelized finish (optional).

6. Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes at 180°C (350°F), until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

7. Serve

Enjoy your moist apple cake warm or at room temperature — plain, or topped with a spoonful of light whipped cream for extra indulgence.
