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 good quality butter. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help to ensure that the flour is evenly distributed and that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Fold in the apples gently. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Buttery apple cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, buttery flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this Buttery Apple Cake a try. .
