This rustic apple cake is delicious and easy to make. Using this apple cake recipe is an easy, fuss-free way to make an apple cake from scratch.
Ingredients:
2 ¾ cup Baker's Dream Flour, plus a little extra for your cake pan
¾ cup Sugar
2 Tbsp Sugar, for your apples
8 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (room temperature), plus a little extra for your cake pan
3 large Eggs
2 Apples, peeled and cored
3 ½ tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Rub a tablespoon of butter all around the inside of your round cake pan making sure to get the sides too.
Add about a tablespoon of flour to your cake pan and shake the flour all around the pan so the flour sticks to the butter. Once the flour has coated all the butter in your cake pan, turn it upside down over the sink and shake out any excess flour then set your pan aside. This will help your cake release from the pan after baking.
Grab your apples and peel the skins off with a peeler.
Starting about 1cm from the centre of your apple, begin slicing all the apples around the apple core until you have four large wedges of apple. Discard the core.
Finely dice the apple pieces that you cut off from the core.
Add your diced apples to a small bowl along with your lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix and set aside.
In another large bowl, add your eggs and sugar and beat until it becomes a pale yellow colour and the texture is smooth.
Now add your room-temperature butter and whip that into the egg mixture until smooth.
In a new large bowl, sift your flour, baking powder and salt.
Add your sifted flour mixture into your egg and butter bowl and stir it in making sure it is mixed well. The batter will be very thick.
Now grab your bowl of diced apples and pour that into your cake batter.
Fold the apples into the batter making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Now add your apple cake batter to your prepared cake pan.
Place your cake into the preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until the top is nice and golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
When it is ready, remove it from the oven and place it on a cooling rack for 20 minutes.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
