Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 135g sugar
- 1/3 tsp vanilla extract
- 135g milk
- 70ml oil (vegetable or any neutral oil)
- 15g baking powder (approx. 1 tablespoon)
- 300g all-purpose flour
- 2-3 apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- Cinnamon powder, to taste
- Additional sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23 cm) round or square cake pan. - Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until frothy.
- Add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture becomes pale and thick.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually pour in the milk and oil, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no lumps remain, being careful not to overmix.
- Incorporate Apples:
- Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter.
- Add cinnamon powder to taste for extra flavor (optional but recommended).
- Transfer to Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. - Sprinkle Topping:
- Sprinkle the top of the cake with a little extra sugar for a caramelized, crispy finish.
- You can also add a light dusting of cinnamon if you enjoy a stronger cinnamon flavor.
- Bake:
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- The cake should rise beautifully and have a golden top.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve! This cake is perfect on its own, or you can serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy:
This apple cake is soft, moist, and perfect for a cozy dessert or a snack with coffee or tea!
