Ingredients

• 4 medium apples, peeled and sliced
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar (or adjust to taste)
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• A pinch of salt
• Powdered sugar for garnish

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a round cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal and a perfectly baked crust.

Step 2: Prepare Apples – Peel and slice 4 medium apples into thin wedges. This ensures even baking and a delightful texture in every bite.

Step 3: Make Batter – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup sugar until light and frothy. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, mixing well. Sift in 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon (if using). Stir until a smooth batter forms, free of lumps.

Step 4: Assemble Cake – Arrange the apple slices evenly in the prepared cake pan. Pour the batter over the apples, ensuring they are fully covered for a cohesive and flavorful cake.

Step 5: Bake – Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures your apple cake is perfectly cooked and moist.

Step 6: Cool and Garnish – Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish and serve warm or at room temperature.
