Ingredients
- 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly)
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds (optional)
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar or pearl sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or springform pan. - Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. - Add the Apples:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Arrange the sliced apples in a circular pattern on top of the batter. Gently press them down a little. - Finish & Bake:
Sprinkle the sliced almonds (if using) and coarse sugar or pearl sugar over the apples. Bake for about 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown. - Cool & Serve:
Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan, then remove and serve warm or at room temperature. Delicious with whipped cream or vanilla sauce!
