Description

Ingredients

• Butter or nonstick spray, for greasing pan
• 5 large tart apples, (Bramley or Granny Smith)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
• cinnamon sugar to top your cake before serving

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Line a 9x3 round cake pan or springform pan with parchment paper. Butter or spray both the paper, and the sides of the pan. I believe butter gives a better aroma whilst baking instead of an oily chemical aroma.
• Peel and core the apples, chop in quarters, then slice into thin bite size pieces.
• Place the apples into the buttered cake pan.
• Using a mixer or whisk, beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl until the sugar dissolves (around 5 minutes).
• Add the vanilla and mix throughout mixture.
• Gently add the flour and mix with a spoon until batter is thick and smooth.
• Pour over the apples in the cake pan, spreading it evenly over the apples. Gently shake the pan to allow the batter to go down to apples.
• Bake in the oven for about 60 minutes. Check with a toothpick to see if cake is ready. Tip: Dont rush the cooking time, or the centre will remain raw.
• When cake is ready, allow to cool on a baking tray for 10 minutes.
• Using a knife, run along sides of the cake pan. Carefully flip upside down onto a baking tray. Peel off the parchment paper, revealing the apple base (now the top of your cake).
• Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar to taste, and transfer to a cake stand or plate. Serve with thickened cream or vanilla bean ice cream.
