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 Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
  • Grate the apples using the large holes of a box grater. This will create a coarse texture that will help the apples hold their shape in the cake.
  • Toss the grated apples with lemon juice. This will help to prevent them from browning.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 60-70 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
