Ingredients

  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and grated
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 glass of milk (about 200 ml)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Optional toppings: powdered sugar, caramel drizzle, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease a cake pan (8-9 inch) with butter or oil and lightly dust with flour.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy.
  2. Add sugar and continue to whisk until creamy.
  3. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing gently.
  4. Fold in the grated apples, ensuring they are evenly coated with the mixture.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  2. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to keep the batter airy.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel. Slice, serve, and watch it melt in the mouth.

Method Notes

  • Grating Apples: Finer grating results in a more uniform, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Eggs: Beating them well incorporates air, which gives the cake its cloud-like softness.
  • Milk: Room temperature milk blends more easily and prevents curdling.

Apple cakes date back centuries across Europe, particularly in France and Germany, where apples were a common fruit and eggs were often used to create light, airy textures. This simplified version is inspired by rustic home baking traditions, where minimal ingredients were transformed into memorable, comforting desserts. Over time, such cakes became celebrated for their soft texture and natural sweetness.
