Apple Cake soft, fluffy, and fragrant. Apple Cakes always remind us of home and the wholesome desserts grandma used to make. Few and simple ingredients and the result is always perfect. Many thin slices of apple gently sink into the batter, and each slice is a triumph of aromas and flavors that makes this cake irresistible. I recommend you also try the recipe for Apple Muffins and the recipe for Apple and Chocolate Cake. Just imagine the delightful aroma that filled my entire house as soon as I took my Soft Apple Cake out of the oven, and it was difficult to resist tasting a warm slice. It’s a simple recipe, accessible to everyone, and one that always wins everyone over. As for the apples, you can choose to use the classic Golden apples or other types, they all work well. I sliced the apples very thinly using a mandolin. For a special flavor, I added cinnamon which I find to be a perfect pairing with apples, but if you prefer, you can substitute it with grated lemon or orange zest or vanilla. The presence of the apples makes the cake moist inside and almost creamy in texture, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time of the day. And if you want to indulge, you can serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or custard. Let’s hurry to the kitchen and prepare a delicious Apple Cake together

How to make the Super Soft Apple Cake
Peel the whole apples, removing the core.

Beat the 2 eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer for 6-7 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the vegetable oil and milk. Mix.
Continue the preparation by adding the sifted flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix.
Finally, add the apple slices and fold them into the batter with a spatula.
Pour the batter into a 20 cm diameter cake tin, preferably springform, greased or lined with parchment paper. Smooth the surface.
Bake the Apple Cake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) in static mode for 35-40 minutes. Always perform the toothpick test to check the internal baking of the cake.
Let it cool before removing it from the tin and decorate as desired with powdered sugar.
