Ingredients
slices
- 150 gram self-raising flour
- 150 gram unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 150 gram light brown sugar
- 1 large apple
- 3 medium eggs
- ½ tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 80 gram vanilla sugar
- Pinch of salt
Equipment
- 8-inch/20 cm loaf pan
INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C) using top and bottom heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, butter, light brown sugar, eggs, vanilla sugar, and a generous pinch of salt. Mix until you have a smooth cake batter.
- Line an 8-inch/20 cm loaf pan with parchment paper, or grease it with butter and lightly dust it with flour. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Wash the apple and remove the core. Cut it into thin slices or half-moon slices. A mandoline works well for getting them nice and thin.
- Place the apple slices in a bowl and add the lemon juice, ½ tablespoon sugar, and cinnamon. Toss until all the apple slices are lightly coated with cinnamon sugar.
- Insert the apple slices upright into the batter, with the peel facing upward. Continue until the top of the cake is covered with apple slices.
- Bake for about 45 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If there is still wet batter on it, bake for a few minutes longer.
- Let the apple cake cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy!
