Time 50m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
3 golden delicious apples, peeled and sliced thinly (or Granny Smith)
2/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
2 whole eggs, plus
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon clove

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º.
  • Grease a 9" round baking dish with butter.
  • In a large frying pan melt the butter. Add the apples and fry until tender, 5-10 minutes, over medium to medium-high heat, moving the apples around to be sure they are all coated in the butter and watching them so that they do not burn.
  • While apples are frying, in a bowl stir together flour, salt and baking powder and spices.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, 2 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk, vanilla extract and lemon zest until creamy and well mixed.
  • Stir apples with the melted butter into egg and sugar mixture and mix quickly so that the hot butter does not scramble the eggs.
  • Once apples are covered, add the flour mixture and mix to coat apples.
  • Spoon into 9" round buttered baking dish.
  • Bake 30-35 minutes or until cake forms a brown crust on top.
  • Let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  • Invert, then flip back over, apple-side-up, and let cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your cake a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a moist and flavorful cake that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this buttery apple cake a try.
