The apple cake is a classic dessert of Italian cuisine and is perhaps one of the pantry cakes I absolutely prefer: soft, fragrant, and easy and quick to prepare, with various textures given by the soft batter and the chunks of apple. In one word: perfect, both for adults and children.
Today I want to share with you a slightly more particular apple cake recipe. It is a recipe that involves a lot of apples and very little batter.
It results in a moist cake that I have called Thousand Apples Cake.
As you will see, the quantities and ingredients are adjusted for a medium-sized cake tin, but it is difficult to make a proportion with the number of people: this cake is so good and delicious that a second serving is inevitable! I hope the Thousand Apples Cake pleases you and can become a sweet treat for your family just as it is for me and mine.

Next, set the butter to melt in a saucepan.
Take the bowl and pour in the eggs with the sugar, beat them quickly with the fork, and then pour the melted butter over the mixture.
Mix well and add the flours and sifted baking powder. Mix roughly and then add all the apples together.
