Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 35-40 minutes
Total time: 50-55 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients

- 2 cups of flour
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- A pinch of ground cloves
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of oil
- 1 egg
- 3 apples (preferably sweet and aromatic, such as Golden or Fuji)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. It is important to have the oven ready before putting in the cake to ensure even baking.

2. Preparing the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Use a spatula or whisk to mix the dry ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps.

3. Preparing the wet ingredients
In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and oil. Mix well until the ingredients are completely homogeneous. This combination will bring moisture and a fluffy texture to your cake.

4. Combining the ingredients
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and gently mix until everything is well incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense cake.

5. Adding the apples
Peel the apples and slice them thinly. Add about two-thirds of the slices to the batter, gently mixing to distribute them evenly. Save a few slices for topping.

6. Pouring the batter into the pan
Grease a baking pan with oil and sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan and level the surface with a spatula. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top of the batter for an attractive look.

7. Baking
Place the pan in the preheated oven and let it bake for 35-40 minutes. Check if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick in the middle; it should come out clean.

8. Cooling and serving
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely. It can be served warm or at room temperature. Enhance its flavor by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.

Helpful tips

- Choosing the apples: Choose sweet and aromatic apples for a pleasant contrast with the cinnamon. Granny Smith apples, for example, add a tart note, but you can opt for sweeter apples for a balanced taste.
- Variations: You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter to bring a crunchy texture and enrich the cake's flavor.
- Storage: The cake keeps well in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. You can reheat it in the microwave to restore its fluffy texture.
