Equipment
- 1 hand mixer
- 1 9inch spring pan
- 1 Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 4 eggs room temperature
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large sour apples
- 1 cup+2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9inch spring cake pan with some butter or cooking spray, then dust with some flour. Wash, peel and slice apples. Spread apples at the bottom of the pan.
- In a mixing bowl, sift 1 cup and 2 Tablespoons of flour with a ½ teaspoon of baking powder.
- Using a hand mixer, beat 4 eggs with a pinch of salt for one minute. Slowly pour 1 cup of sugar while mixing on high. Beat eggs and sugar for 10-12 minutes on high speed until the ribbon is left on the surface when you pull up the mixer whisk. The volume should be tripled.
- Using a silicone spatula, gently fold in the sifted flour in three batches. Now, gently mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the cake batter over the apples. If needed, use a spatula to spread the batter on top of apples.
- Bake at 350F for about 40-45 minutes until the top is golden. Use a toothpick or a cake tester to check if the cake is ready.
- Cool down the cake for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and dust it with some powdered sugar.
Notes
- sift the flour for a fluffy texture
- use sour apples
- do not open the oven while the cake is baking
- cool down the cake little bit before dusting
