Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 120 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 milliliters Whole milk
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, blending just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Arrange half of the sliced apples over the batter in a circular pattern.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the apples and spread it out gently. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top and sprinkle them with brown sugar for a caramelized finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your Autumn Apple Sponge Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
