Name: Apple Cake Recipe
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 2 apples; 2 eggs, at room temperature; 75 g sugar; 75 g milk, at room temperature; 80 g unsalted butter, melted; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 150 g cake flour (or all-purpose flour as an alternative); 4 g baking powder; 1 g cinnamon powder (optional); 1 g salt; Walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Step

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and whisk until well combined. Pour in the milk and melted butter, then add the vanilla extract. Mix gently. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder (if using), and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth. If desired, mix in chopped walnuts for added texture.

2. Step

Cut one apple into five pieces and the other into eight pieces. Slice each segment thinly if preferred. Line a 13.5 cm square baking pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into it, spreading it evenly. Arrange the sliced apples on top of the batter. Sprinkle sugar lightly over the apples for a caramelized finish.

3. Step

Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Bake the cake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool before removing it from the pan.
