Ingredients

• 4 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 210 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 120 ml Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with 50 grams of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside to allow the apples to release their juices.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and the remaining 150 grams of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Arrange half of the spiced apple slices on top of the batter. Spoon the remaining cake batter over the apple layer, spreading gently to cover.

Step 7

Arrange the remaining apple slices on top of the final layer of batter, creating a decorative pattern if desired.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful finish.
