This cake is not only incredibly easy to prepare, but it is also a perfect treat for the whole family, making it an ideal choice for gatherings, celebrations, or simply a cozy evening at home.


Ingredients

To create this scrumptious apple cake, you will need the following ingredients:


- 3 medium-sized apples (preferably a mix of sweet and tart varieties for depth of flavor)

- 1 cup of all-purpose flour

- 1 cup of granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted

- 2 large eggs

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

- 1 teaspoon of baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, for added warmth and spice)

- A pinch of salt


Instructions

1. **Preheat the Oven**: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cake will bake evenly.


2. **Prepare the Apples**: While the oven is heating, peel and core the apples. Then, chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. You can also choose to slice them thinly for a different texture in the cake.


3. **Mix the Wet Ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract, stirring to incorporate it fully.


4. **Combine the Dry Ingredients**: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. This step is crucial as it helps to evenly distribute the leavening agent and spices throughout the flour.


5. **Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures**: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser cake.


6. **Fold in the Apples**: Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This will give your cake its signature apple flavor and texture.


7. **Bake the Cake**: Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan or a similar baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even bake. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


8. **Cool and Serve**: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This cake can be served warm or at room temperature and is delightful on its own or with a dusting of powdered sugar on top.


Conclusion

  • This apple cake, made from a soft apple dough, is sure to become a favorite in your household. Its simplicity and delicious flavor make it an excellent choice for any occasion, whether you're hosting a family gathering or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon.

Preparation:
  1. Melt the butter over low heat, then let it cool a little. Lubricate the mold (butter, flour), shake off the excess, and put it on the sides.

  2. Beat the eggs with the sugar until it becomes lighter, smooth, and foamy. Add the melted butter, vanilla sugar, grated lemon peel, and beat with a hand whisk, then pour in the milk. Continue mixing with a spatula while adding the flour and baking powder. Beat into a compact mixture without lumps.

  3. Wash and dry the apples, divide them in half, remove the core, and cut them into fairly small cubes. Add them to the dough mixture and finally transfer everything to the cake pan.

  4. Bake in a heated oven with fan at 180° for 30–35 minutes.

  5. The cake is ready when the dough has risen well and is slightly golden on the surface. Test with a toothpick before removing from the oven. If the toothpick is dry, it's done!

  6. Leave the cake to cool completely. After that, sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut into slices, and serve.
