Time 50m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
3 golden delicious apples, peeled and sliced thinly (or Granny Smith)
2/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
2 whole eggs, plus
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon clove

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350º.
  • Grease a 9" round baking dish with butter.
  • In a large frying pan melt the butter. Add the apples and fry until tender, 5-10 minutes, over medium to medium-high heat, moving the apples around to be sure they are all coated in the butter and watching them so that they do not burn.
  • While apples are frying, in a bowl stir together flour, salt and baking powder and spices.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, 2 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk, vanilla extract and lemon zest until creamy and well mixed.
  • Stir apples with the melted butter into egg and sugar mixture and mix quickly so that the hot butter does not scramble the eggs.
  • Once apples are covered, add the flour mixture and mix to coat apples.
  • Spoon into 9" round buttered baking dish.
  • Bake 30-35 minutes or until cake forms a brown crust on top.
  • Let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  • Invert, then flip back over, apple-side-up, and let cool completely before serving.

MOM'S APPLE CAKE



Mom's Apple Cake image

This is the only cake my mom ever baked - she was the daughter of a confectioner and taught me nearly everything about making cakes and tarts, but she never baked anything except this cake, because it was my favorite apple cake. She also made it with plums, but you can use any fruit you like. This cake maybe is not what you expect a cake to be - in Germany it is called a baking tray - cake which means that you spread the batter onto a baking tray which makes a flat cake, more like what you would call a "bar", I suppose, with a crisp bottom.
