Golden & Delicious Apple Cake with Cinnamon

Golden & Delicious Apple Cake with Cinnamon

This cake is more-ish beware!


Shopping List:

3 medium tart apples ( Goudreinet/Braeburn)
3 tablespoons of light soft brown sugar
200 gr white sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon, but i suppose you could use some pumpkin pie spices (Sinterklaas kruiden)
150 gr butter, unsalted, softened
4 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
250 gr plain flour
1/8 teaspoon salt


* Combine your peeled and cut apples (0.5cm slices) with the cinnamon ( or more spices, see above) and the 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar in a large bowl. Set aside for 1 hour.

* Grease or spray and line your cake tin. Preheat your oven to 150C. Yes, 150C.

* In another bowl mix the butter with the 200 gr sugar until well combined and fluffy. Add your eggs, but one by one and beat well after each addition. Put the vanilla extract in.

* In another bowl mix the flour with the salt and add this gradually to the fluffy butter/egg mixture and beat until well combined and smooth.

* Pour your smooth mixture into your prepared tin. Now push the apple slices into the batter, pointed upwards. Vertically. Place them well together nice and snug.

* Bake this in your preheated oven for about 1 hour and a half - to 1 hour and 45 minutes until your caketester comes out clean. You will think it will never work, the mixture doesn't rise and it is going to be too stodgy. But no. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then turn out onto your wire rack.
You can eat it warm mmmmm. Or cold. With any sort of cream mmmm.

It is truly a keeper in my recipe holder, to be @ the ready for visitors!

* This cake was baked in a Dutch Kitchen by a Dutch Lady.
