Ingredients
- 5 apples (2 lb - 1 kg)
- ½ lemon juice half of a whole lemon juiced
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 ½ cup flour 8.8 oz (if your batter is too dry, try measuring the flour in oz instead of cups)
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
Topping
- ¼ cup butter (50 gr)
- ¼ cup caster sugar (50 gr)
Instructions
- Cut the apples into large chunks
5 apples - Mix them with lemon juice so they don't get brown
½ lemon juice - Prepare the cake mix, first whisking the butter at room temperature with the sugar
½ cup caster sugar,½ cup butter - Then add the eggs, combining them one at the time
2 fresh eggs - In a bowl mix the flour with the baking powder and add it to the cake batter
1 ½ cup flour,4 teaspoon baking powder - The batter should be soft and creamy
Making the cake
- Cover the bottom of a round baking tin with parchment paper, butter and coat with flour
- Pour the cake mix into the baking tin and spread evenly
- Cover with the apples, pushing the apples down into the mix
Making the topping
- Melt the ¼ cup - 50 gr of sugar and ¼ cup - 50 gr of butter in the microwave
¼ cup butter,¼ cup caster sugar - Pour it over the apples
Bake
- Bake in the oven at 355 F - 180 C for 1 hour
- Once the cake is ready, let it rest 10 minutes before removing it from the pan
- With a spatula, detach the apples and the cake from the side of the pan
- Remove the ring
- Place the cake on a serving dish removing the bottom of the pan and the parchment paper
- Serve warm or at room temperature
Notes
- Once you cut the apples, they tend to become brown. To avoid that, mix them with some lemon juice
- Make sure you remove the butter from the fridge 1 hour before you make the cake
- Add one egg at a time to make sure they are well combined
- Push the apples into the batter so the juices from the apple will form a nice creamy center
- If you do not want to add the sugar and the butter on top of the apples, you don't have to. The cake will be nice even without it
- If you want to make cupcakes instead of a cake, cut the apples into smaller chunks and bake at 355 F - 180 C for 30 minutes
