Instructions

Mix the eggs and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Add in the oil and vanilla extract and mix well.
2 eggs, 8 tablespoon sugar, 11 tablespoon sunflower oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk the flour with the baking powder, then incorporate it into the batter until smooth, alternating with the milk. The dough should be runny when taken with a spoon, but be thicker than pancake dough.
11 tablespoon flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 11 tablespoon milk
First, give the apples a good wash. After that, peel off the skin and remove the core. Use a grater with big holes, like the wide side of a box grater, to grate them. Squeeze out any extra juice and then cook them in a shallow pan with some sugar and cinnamon until they get all thick and yummy. If you prefer, you can also cut the apples into small cubes or thin slices. Once they're cooked, let them cool down a bit.
1 kg apples, 4 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Grease the pan with butter and sprinkle with flour. Pour half of the dough and bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C.
When it's ready, remove the pan from the oven and spread the fresh apple filling or apple jam evenly over the baked batter.
Add the remaining batter over the apples and bake for another 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Lastly, when it is baked dust with powdered sugar and slice it when completely cool. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Your Apple Cake stays fresh in the fridge for up to 1 day. It's tastiest when it's warm, just out of the oven.

Tip 1: Pick the Right Apples - Choose apples like Granny Smith or Gala for the best taste and texture. This must be made preferably using fresh apples, as they're healthier and give the cake a lighter taste. The apple jam can be a bit too sweet.

Tip 2: Season It Well- Give your cake mix a good stir with sugar and cinnamon for extra flavour.

Tip 3: Bake it Right - Put the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes. It will be golden and delicious!
