Did I already tell you how much I love apple cakes? You must have noticed because I make them very often and in many different ways. The Apple Heart Cake without Butter is a really soft dessert made with lots of apples and, not having butter in the fridge, I added a tablespoon of rice oil. Try it yourself and you’ll taste the goodness! But if you like those that lack nothing, try the Delicious Apple Cake, also super good!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole cane sugar (or muscovado)
- 2 eggs (medium)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp rice oil (or corn oil)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (level)
- 4 Golden apples
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 tsp lemon zest (grated)
- 1 pinch fine salt
Tools
- Bowl
- Baking Pan 9 inches
- Whisk
- Food Scale
Steps
Preheat the oven in static mode to 347 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, beat the whole eggs and sugar with a hand whisk, then add the milk, 2 tablespoons of rice or corn oil, a pinch of salt, the grated zest of 1 lemon, cinnamon, sifted flour, and baking powder. Mix well to obtain a kind of thick batter.
Peel the apples and slice them into not too thin wedges. Dip the apple slices into the batter and mix everything gently so that each apple slice is well coated with batter. Transfer the apples into the buttered and floured pan and arrange them to get a flat surface. Bake and cook at 347 degrees Fahrenheit for about 50 minutes. When the Apple Heart Cake without Butter is ready, let it cool and, if you like, you can serve it dusted with powdered sugar.
