I made this for our small group meeting tonight – actually I made two…you wouldn’t expect me to serve something to people that I hadn’t actually tried myself did you?! It was absolutely awesome, and probably the easiest recipe I’ve ever made.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 4 large apples (mix of varieties)
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 tablespoons butter – salted or unsalted, melted and cooled to room temperature
- Powdered sugar
- Caramel sauce
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and adjust the oven rack to center
- Heavily butter a 9-inch cake pan and place it on a baking sheet
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Peel and core the apples, then dice them into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy then whisk in the sugar and vanilla.
- Whisk half of the flour mixture in – next gently stir in half the melted butter.
- Whisk remaining flour mixture, followed by rest of melted butter.
- Fold in the apples cubes until well coated, and scrape into 9-inch pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Remove the cake from the pan – drizzle with caramel sauce and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
