Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Pro tip: Ensure the pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.

Prepare the apples

Peel, core, and slice the apples. Set aside.

Pro tip: Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavour.

Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.

Combine wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter is not hot to prevent cooking the eggs.

Combine all ingredients

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the apple slices.

Pro tip: Do not overmix to keep the cake tender.

Bake the cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Pro tip: Rotate the cake halfway through baking for even cooking.
