Ingredients

• 120 g All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 115 g Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp Dark rum (optional)
• 3 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan, or line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and rum (if using).

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Gently stir in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
