Easy Apple Cake

Report

Easy Apple Cake made with fresh apples and a light vanilla sponge, a scrumptious dessert that is simple, but packed with incredible flavours. Particularly delicious in Autumn when there is an abundance of fresh produce, this apple cake can also be enjoyed throughout the year.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
In a large bowl, crack the eggs, and add the sugar to them.
Use a hand mixer to beat them well until you have a creamy texture and a pale yellow colour.
Sift in the flour, add the baking powder, milk, oil and vanilla extract, and beat well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Peel the apples and slice them thinly on a grater.
Add them to a bowl and pour over the lemon juice.
Toss well to prevent the apples from browning too quickly.
Add the apples to the batter, and mix again.
Transfer the batter to a round baking tin (mine is 23 cm, or 9 inches in diameter) lined with non-stick paper.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Leave the cake to cool down completely before removing it from the pan.
Sprinkle it with icing sugar.

Notes

If you'd like to see the ingredients listed in cups and ounces, please check the US Customary Link.
Also, the amount of ingredients changes depending on the servings, so click on the number listed to change it to the number you prefer.
There is no need to precook the apples before adding them to the batter, slicing them thinly helps them soften better while in the oven.
I opted for a vanilla flavour for the sponge, but you can also add a pinch of cinnamon for a more Autumn touch, apples and cinnamon are known for making one happy marriage.
You can also make the cake as a traybake, and bake it in a baking tray - I would double up the ingredients for that though, as there won't be enough batter, depending on the size of your tray.
