Instructions

Prepare the Apple Filling:

  1. In a bowl, mix the diced apples with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  2. Set aside while you prepare the batter.

Make the Cake Batter:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the oil, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth.

Assemble the Cake:

  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  2. Evenly spread the apple filling over the batter.
  3. Pour the remaining batter over the apple layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake the Cake:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorate and Serve:

  1. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar if desired.
  2. Slice and serve your apple cake with a cup of tea or coffee.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, you can add a handful of chopped walnuts or raisins to the apple filling.
  • This cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together!
