Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Primary Ingredients:
- 2 apples
- 2 eggs
Dairy and Fats:
- 50g butter
- 100ml milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 50g icing sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Carefully melt 50g butter in a pan and fold in 2 chopped apples until they’re lightly softened and glistening.
- Sift 3 tablespoons flour together with 50g icing sugar and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl.
- Crack 2 eggs into the dry ingredients and pour in 100ml milk, then whisk thoroughly until your batter becomes silky and completely smooth.
- Gently fold the warm butter and apple mixture into your batter, ensuring even distribution of fruit throughout.
- Transfer the entire batter onto a prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Generously dust the surface with ground cinnamon, creating a fragrant speckled layer.
- Slide the sheet into a preheated oven at 356°F and bake for 35 minutes, checking at the 30-minute mark to ensure your cake develops a beautiful golden-brown surface without burning.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake rest for 10 minutes before slicing, allowing the texture to set perfectly.
Notes
- Choose firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture in this cake.
- Let the melted butter and chopped apples cool slightly before mixing into the batter to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Check the cake’s doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- For a gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend and add 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum to help bind the batter.
