Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer (or Whisk)
  • Measuring Cups
  • Baking Pan
  • Toothpick
  • Wire Rack

Ingredients

  • 3 medium apples (red or green)
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 150 g sugar
  • 100 g butter (at room temperature)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 120 ml milk
  • a pinch salt
  • to decorate powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the apples, reserving a few thin slices for decoration, and dice the rest into small pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking pan with butter, lightly dusting with flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in the vanilla essence.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture while alternating with the milk. Fold in the diced apples gently.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared mold, smooth the top, and arrange the reserved apple slices on top. Bake for 35–40 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Feel free to substitute margarine or coconut oil for a dairy-free option. Use any variety of apples, but sweeter ones will complement the recipe well. Dusting with powdered sugar before serving adds an elegant touch. To maintain freshness, store the cake in an airtight container for up to two days or refrigerate it. Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or in an oven for a few minutes for a fresh-baked taste. Enjoy a slice of comforting flavor!
