Yield Makes 1 Cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons wheat germ (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
6 small Rome, Granny Smith, Yellow Delicious, or other low-moisture apples
Juice of 1/2 lemon
4 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Mix the flour, wheat germ, salt, and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
  • Peel, core, and slice the apples into eighths and place in another bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • In a third bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add the vegetable oil and 1 3/4 cups of the sugar; beat well. Stir in the vanilla.
  • To the egg mixture; alternately add the dry ingredients and the orange juice. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with half the sliced apples.
  • In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle half over the apples. Cover with the remaining batter.
  • Starting at the outside of the pan, neatly place the remaining apple slices in overlapping concentric circles. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Put some aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven in case the batter leaks. Bake the cake on the middle rack for 1 1/4 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack before you carefully remove the cake from the pan.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples on hand, so this cake is a lifesaver.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of apple cake, but this one was really good. The apples were tart and the cake was moist and flavorful.

This apple cake was heavenly! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the apples were perfectly tender and flavorful. The cinnamon and nutmeg added the perfect amount of spice. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.
