Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, which hold their shape well during baking.
- Slice apples thinly to ensure even cooking and better integration into the batter.
- Measure ingredients accurately, especially flour and sugar, using a kitchen scale for precision.
- Ensure eggs, milk, and melted butter are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
- Mix gently until just combined to avoid a dense cake.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Start checking for doneness at 45 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when done.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a plate to cool completely for easier slicing.
- Add lemon zest or orange peel to the batter for extra flavor, if desired.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
