Apple Cake

Here finally comes the apple cake that I didn't bake last Sunday because we spontaneously wanted to take advantage of the good weather and go to the volcano again. But I baked the next day, my husband has to work from home, so I had time and we were able to have a nice coffee hour together again (thanks to the time difference of currently 2 hours).

I found the fluffy cake with the sugar-cinnamon crust extremely tasty - and my little one wanted extra help, so this cake was really well received!

Ingredients

250 g brown sugar

250 g margarine

4 eggs

80 g hot water

1 pinch of ground vanilla

250 g flour

2 tsp baking soda

2 large apples

2 Tbsp sugar-cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

In a large bowl, stir the sugar with the margarine until fluffy.

Then stir in the eggs one at a time.

Add the hot water, the ground vanilla, the flour and the baking powder and stir.

Then put the dough into a springform pan lined with baking paper.

Wash, peel and cut the apples into thin slices.

Place the apple slices on the cake (stick them a little into the dough) and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for approx. 50 minutes (test with a toothpick!).

Then let the cake cool slightly and carefully remove it from the tin. Even warm, the cake tastes particularly delicious with its crispy sugar cinnamon crust!
