Apple Cake
I love this Apple Cake. It's simple, easy to make and full of flavor. It's a apple pie in a cake version. The presentation always comes out so nice and the smell is delightfully so good. It's so delicious, I couldn't helped myself with a few slices all the time. It's always decadent- drizzled with chocolate sauce or vanilla ice cream on top...
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
t tsp. baking powder
1/4 salt {optional if using a salted butter}
1 stick of unsalted butter {omit salt if using salted butter}
1/4 cup sugar {more or less if the apples are sweet already}
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1-2 apples {cored, peeled and thinly sliced}
It's so pretty to look at.
Directions:
Mix all the these ingredients in one bowl: flour, salt, baking powder, {except cinnamon} and set aside.
Cream butter and sugar, until fluffy. Add the egg, and alternately add the flour mixture and milk. Pour batter in a round or square greased pan.{set aside}.
Cinnamon mixture {combine sugar and cinnamon- easy as that}.
Assemble sliced apples on top of the cake batter.{decorate it as you please, I like how I do mine- as it fans out}. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top of the apples and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Make sure to grease the pan very well and keep an eye on it. Over baking it creates a dome or cracks on the surface of the cake.{important if you are serving it as a whole for presentation or bringing it to a party}. Serve this with a caramel sauce, chocolate sauce or vanilla ice or just plain- either way, its always a treat.
Apple Cake! How can you go wrong with such classic? Deliciously moist, melt-in-your-mouth Apple Cake. Enjoy eating!
