Apple Cake Recipe from a Five-Star Restaurant

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your baking pan with butter or nonstick spray.

Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.

Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the eggs and sugar mixture, and whisk until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined—don’t overmix!

Fold in the sliced apples, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Serving Tips:
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce to impress your guests.

Why This Recipe Works:
Using tart apples balances the sweetness and adds a slight tang.

Melted butter keeps the cake moist while adding richness.

Simple, fast preparation with no complicated steps — perfect for last-minute guests or quick desserts!
