Preparation procedure

  • Preheating the oven: Turn the oven to 180 °C (top and bottom heat). Line the cake pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Preparing the batter: Beat the eggs with the granulated and vanilla sugar until light and frothy. Pour in the oil and milk, mix briefly. Add the sifted flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt. Work into a smooth, medium-thick batter.
  • Preparing the apples: Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut into thin slices. Drizzle with lemon juice so they don't brown.
  • Assembling the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange the apples on top in a fan pattern or to your liking. You can sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Baking: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 45–50 minutes. You'll know it's done by its golden color and the skewer test – the skewer should come out dry.
  • Finishing: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar. The cake can be served warm or cold.
