Steps to prepare the super soft apple and orange cake
Peel the apples. Remove the core and slice them. Place the slices in a bowl and sprinkle with strained lemon juice to prevent browning.
Break 3 eggs into a bowl. Add the sugar and start mixing until you have a nice light foam. While mixing with the electric whisk, gradually add the oil.
Sift the flour and baking powder. Add to the eggs with the strained orange juice. Mix with a hand whisk. Finish with grated orange peel, salt, and apples. Mix with a spoon.
Brush a baking pan with vegetable oil. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Pour the mixture and finish with sliced almonds scattered on top. Bake in a static oven, at 356°F for 40-45 minutes. Always perform the toothpick test. Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Storage
You can store the apple cake under a glass dome for two or three days.
