MOM'S APPLE CAKE

Mom's Apple Cake image

This is the only cake my mom ever baked - she was the daughter of a confectioner and taught me nearly everything about making cakes and tarts, but she never baked anything except this cake, because it was my favorite apple cake. She also made it with plums, but you can use any fruit you like. This cake maybe is not what you expect a cake to be - in Germany it is called a baking tray - cake which means that you spread the batter onto a baking tray which makes a flat cake, more like what you would call a "bar", I suppose, with a crisp bottom.

Tips:

Use a blend of apples. This will give your cake a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
