Apple Cake
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter and flour for preparing baking pan
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- Zest of 1 scrubbed lemon, cut into fine slivers
- 4 to 6 baking apples (about 2 pounds), cored, peeled, and cut into 16ths
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter the pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and stir to blend. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, oil, milk and lemon zest, and stir until well blended. Add the apples and stir to thoroughly coat the apples with the batter. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until fairly firm and golden, about 25 to 35 minutes
