Ingredients
- 2 lbs apples (preferably a more tart apple)
- 7/8 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- pinch of salt
- powdered sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 355 degrees.
- Melt the butter and set aside.
- Grate and juice the lemon into separate bowls then set aside.
- Peel the apples then cut them in half and remove the core. Cut the halves again so you are left with four pieces then cut the pieces up into slices.
- Toss the sliced apples into a bowl and sprinkle in the lemon juice, making sure to mix well. Set aside.
- Next, sift the flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs open into a clean bow. Add a portion of the sugar and start whipping with an electric whisk. Continue adding and mixing the sugar little by little.
- When the mixture lightens up, add the pinch of salt and continue whipping until a light and frothy dough is created.
- Continue lightly mixing while adding the melted butter, ground cinnamon, and lemon zest. Mix it together for half a minute then add the sifted flour/baking powder mixture one tablespoon at a time.
- Once everything is well combined, lower the mixing speed and pour the milk in. When the milk is completely mixed, stop the whip. Your dough is ready!
- Drain the apples to remove the lemon juice and pour them into the dough. Gently fold them into the dough to incorporate them thoroughly.
- Optional: you can also add raisins if you want to add a little more to it!
- Grease a 22 cm cake tin and sprinkle with sugar before pouring the dough in.
- Place the cake into the oven and cook for 45 - 55 minutes.
- When it's done in the oven, take it out and let it cool completely before removing it from the pan. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and enjoy!
