Easy Apple Cake Recipe

To make this easy apple cake, you need a few simple ingredients. I will highlight them in this section and also walk you through the preparation steps. 

Ingredients:

• 3 medium apples
• 2 large eggs
• 100 g (½ cup) sugar
• 100 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
• 80 g (5½ tbsp) butter (plus extra for greasing)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Easy Step-by-Step:

Once you have all the ingredients, start by slicing the apples. Coring and thinly slicing them while keeping the skin on is the best method.

The next step is to beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl with a hand mixer.

Keep doing this until it looks pale and fluffy.

Melt butter and let it cool slightly.

Then, add flour, baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture. 

Gently fold until combined and then stir in the melted butter until a smooth batter forms.

Grease a square or rectangular pan with butter. Dust with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Pour the batter into your prepared dish.

Arrange the apple slices evenly on top of the batter in overlapping rows.

Bake for up to 35 minutes or until it is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let it cool slightly and dust the cake with powdered sugar if you want.

Slice, serve, and ENJOY!!!

Can I Use a Different Type of Apple?

Yes, you can use a different type of apple. The best part is that this apple cake recipe works with almost any apple variety. 

For a softer, sweeter flavor, use sweet apples like Gala or Fuji.

If you want a tangy twist, go for tart apples like Granny Smith.

Guess what? You can even mix two different apple varieties for a balanced taste.

How to Store and Reheat Apple Cake

Follow these simple steps:

• Ensure the cake is kept in an airtight container at room temperature. This way, it can last for up to 2 days.
• For longer periods (like 5 days), it’s best kept in the fridge.

When it is time to eat, just reheat (a slice or the entire cake, depending on how much you want) in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a low oven for a few minutes.

Whether you have a special occasion or just want to enjoy it in the comfort of your home, this easy apple cake recipe ALWAYS delivers big on taste.

Have fun cooking!
