Cup apple cake with walnuts without weighing. Quick recipe using a 200ml cup, moist and fragrant with cinnamon, ready in a few minutes even without a mixer.

A proper apple cake “by the cup”, exactly the way grandmothers made it. No scale or mixer, just an ordinary 200ml cup and a few pantry ingredients. A moist base scented with cinnamon, crunchy nuts and on top a layer of jam or preserves – a homemade classic that’s ready in no time.

For 12 portions

Ingredients

Preparation procedure

  • Batter: Beat the eggs with the sugar with a whisk until smooth. Stir in the semolina, ground nuts, milk and oil. Add the grated apples, then the flour, baking powder and cinnamon sugar. Finally, fold in the chopped nuts.
  • Baking: Grease and dust a small baking tray (or line with baking paper). Pour in the batter, smooth it and bake in an oven preheated to 200 °C for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out dry.
  • Finishing: Brush the hot cake with jam or preserves and sprinkle the surface with a mixture of ground and chopped nuts. Let cool and cut into slices.

Number of servings: 12

Total preparation time: approx. 45 minutes (15 min prep + 25–30 min baking)

Tips:

  • Choose a more tart jam (currant, sour cherry) – it will nicely balance the cake’s sweetness.

  • Want an even moister crumb? Add 2–3 tablespoons of apple juice to the batter.

  • Part of the semolina can be replaced with grated coconut for a different twist.

Conclusion

This old cup recipe is proof that a great apple cake doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few basic ingredients you’ll conjure up an aromatic dessert that will disappear from the table first. Save it — it’s ideal for quick weekend baking and as a sweet snack for the whole family.
