Steps
First, mix the eggs with the sugar and vanillin in a bowl with a hand whisk. Then add the flour, baking powder, milk, and oil, and continue mixing with the whisk until you get a smooth batter without lumps. Separately, clean the apples, peel them, remove the core, and cut them into small cubes. Add the apple cubes to the batter and mix everything well.
Transfer the batter into a 20 cm diameter cake pan lined with parchment paper. Now put the cold butter, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in the blender and blend until you get a crumbly mixture. Spread it over the cake’s surface, without pressing it and trying to cover the edges well.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 45 minutes, or until the surface is golden. Obviously, cooking times vary a lot depending on the type of oven you have. After baking, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool.
Then remove it from the mold and sprinkle it with powdered sugar before slicing.
