Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large apples
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash, peal and dice apples into one inch pieces.
  2. Using a mixer, beat eggs with sugar, until it’s three times in volume.
  3. Using a spatula, fold in flour by thirds; be very gentle with the dough, to not overmix it and lose the fluffiness.
  4. Lay out the diced apples on the bottom of a 9 inch pan. Cover apples with cake batter, shake the pan a bit, to spread batter between each apple piece.
  5. Bake it at 350F for 40 minutes, check using a wooden toothpick. If the cake is ready, the dough should not stick to the toothpick. 
  6. Once the cake cools off a little, dust it with some powdered sugar. (Optionally, you can flip the cake over before dusting with powdered sugar, but this isn't required.)
