  1. Preparation of the apples

    Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). While the oven heats up, peel the apples. Cut them into quarters, remove the core and seeds, then finely slice them. You can sprinkle the apple slices with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.

  2. Preparation of the dough

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until you have a fluffy and slightly whipped mixture. The addition of sugar is crucial as it gives the apple cake a light and airy texture. Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and continue to mix until the preparation is homogeneous. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. If you like cinnamon, this is the time to add it for a delightful apple cake aroma. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the egg and sugar mixture, alternating with milk. This method ensures a smooth batter without lumps.

  3. Incorporation of the apples

    Add the apple slices to the dough and mix gently with a spatula. Ensure that the apples are well coated with dough for an even distribution in the apple cake.

  4. Baking

    Butter and flour a cake pan (preferably a 24 cm diameter springform pan) to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. You can arrange some apple slices on top of the cake for an aesthetic touch. Bake the apple cake in the preheated oven at 180°C. Let it bake for about 40 minutes, or until it is golden brown. To check doneness, insert a knife into the center of the cake; it should come out dry. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.

  5. Finishing and presentation

    Once the apple cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding onto a wire rack. Let it cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
