🧾 Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 2 eggs
- 100 g sugar (about 1/2 cup)
- 100 ml milk (about 1/2 cup)
- 80 g melted butter (about 1/3 cup)
- 120 g all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Optional Add-ons:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for extra warmth)
- Powdered sugar (for decoration)
- Caramel sauce (for serving)
🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Start by peeling your apples and slicing them very thinly. The thinner the slices, the creamier your cake will be. This recipe uses more apples than batter, which gives it that soft, custard-like texture.
Place the apple slices in a bowl and set them aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In another bowl, crack the eggs and add the sugar. Whisk well until the mixture becomes light and slightly fluffy.
Add:
- Milk
- Melted butter
- Vanilla extract
Mix everything until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients while stirring continuously. This helps avoid lumps and creates a smooth batter.
Step 4: Add Apples
Now add the sliced apples to the batter. Stir gently so every slice is coated. Don’t worry if it looks like too many apples—that’s exactly what makes this cake special.
Step 5: Transfer to Baking Pan
Grease a small baking pan (about 20 cm / 8 inches). Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let the cake cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top or drizzle with caramel sauce if you like.
