Instructions

Cake

  • Spray an 8-inch round pan with baking spray. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat eggs and sugar at high speed with an electric mixer until thick and ribbony, about 10-15 minutes.

  • Fold in apples and vanilla.
  • Stir in dry ingredients.

Notes

  • Do not take this cake out of the oven before it has been in there 50 minutes. It needs the full time and maybe a little more, depending on your oven.
  • Be sure to peel and core your apples.
  • It can be hard to tell when this cake is fully cooked. When the top is browned is almost a sure-sign that it's done.
  • This is a very moist cake and needs to be kept in the refrigerator.
  • Any kind of baking apple can be used for this recipe!
  • 5 cups of apple chopped is about 3 1/2 large apples.
