Easy and delicious German sunken apple cake, moist and flavorful.
Ingredients:
9tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
10tablespoons white sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
2tablespoons all-purpose flour
2teaspoons baking powder
3 medium apples, or as needed
1tablespoonconfectioners' sugarfor dusting, or as needed
Instructions:
In a spacious bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the butter until creamy. Gradually incorporate the sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Combine 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of flour and baking powder in a separate bowl, then fold it into the batter until smooth.
Peel and quarter the apples, then fan out each quarter without cutting all the way through, starting from the outside towards the core.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously butter a springform pan.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared springform pan. Arrange apple quarters in a circular pattern on top of the batter with the rounded side facing up, gently pressing them in.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes until the cake turns a beautiful golden brown.
After baking, let the cake cool before sprinkling it with confectioners' sugar.
