EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE



Easiest Ever MOIST Apple Cake image

A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

Provided by Eddy Member since Thursday, October 1, 2015, 6 years ago Location: n/a Follow Message

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 golden apples
4 eggs
1 and 1/4 cups of sugar
3/4 cup of melted butter
2 and 1/3 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of milk
4 golden apples
4 eggs
1 and 1/4 cups of sugar
3/4 cup of melted butter
2 and 1/3 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of milk

Steps:

  • Grease a cake form with butter and sprinkle it with sugar. Peel, cut the apples into thin slices, drizzle with lemon juice to keep them from changing color and place a layer of apple slices on the bottom of the form. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until you get a fluffy cream, then add the melted butter and milk and continue to beat. Add the sifted flour with the baking powder and stir with a spoon. Beat the egg whites until firm, add to the batter and stir well. Put a layer of the batter over the apples in the form. Then add another layer of apple slices and top it with the remainding batter. Bake at 180ºC or 350ºF for about 40 minutes or until cooked, but test the toothpick. Remove it from the oven, let it cool a bit, gently slide a knife around the form and unmold the cake.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of apples. Different types of apples offer different flavors and textures, so using a mix will create a more complex and delicious cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan. A bundt pan allows the cake to cook evenly and gives it a beautiful shape.
  • Let the cake cool before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. This will make the cake even more delicious.

Conclusion:

This Portuguese apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and beautiful presentation, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this Portuguese apple cake a try.
