Equipment
- 22 cm (9-inch) round cake pan
- Large bowl
- Separate bowl
- Whisk
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 4 medium apples sliced thinly
- 2 large eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 200 ml milk
- 50 g butter melted

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 22 cm (9-inch) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly. The thinner the slices, the more they will blend into the cake.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Step 5: Slowly pour in the milk and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
- Step 6: Gently fold in the sliced apples until they are well coated with the batter.
- Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 9: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 10: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
