Fluffy Swedish Apple Cake image

This is a favorite cake in Sweden. It's a simple, buttery cake filled with cinnamon-sugar apple slices. It reminds me of a pound cake, but with a yummy apple cinnamon topping. The presentation is made really pretty by arranging the apple slices. You can serve this as a coffee cake or as a dessert. You can re-heat slices in the microwave if you like it warmed. Recipe from Epicurious.

Number Of Ingredients 10

5/8 cup butter (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons)
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup water
2 -3 cooking apples (Jonathan, Rome, Granny Smith, etc.)
1/2 cup sugar, for apple slices
