This Homestyle Apple Cake is a classic dessert that's sure to please everyone at the table with its moist, apple-packed interior and a beautifully bronzed crust.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 medium-sized apples
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease and lightly flour a 26 cm springform pan.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the vanilla extract, salt, and milk.
- Combine the flour and baking powder in another bowl. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a uniform batter is formed.
- Peel and core the apples. Dice half of the apples and fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Thinly slice the remaining apples and arrange on top, pressing them slightly into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
