  • Dust the apples with flour before adding them to the cake batter. This will help to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.

  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
