Tray-bake Apple Cake - flour

Method

• Peel the apples and cut into 4 - 6 even wedges.
• Then cut them into 7 mm slices.
• Soak the apples in salted water (not listed), to avoid discolouring, and drain.
• Sift the cake flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together twice.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 170C.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the sugar and mix well.
• Add the vegetable oil and mix further, and add the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
• Add the apples and walnuts to Step 5 and mix.
• Add the dry ingredients from Step 3 in 2 3 batches.
• Fold in with a wooden spatula to prevent the batter from getting sticky.
• Pour the batter from Step 6 into the baking tray and smooth out the surface.
• The apples and walnuts stick out, so press them with the wooden spatula to make the batter flat.
• Bake for 35 40 minutes at 170C until golden brown.
• When it's baked, cut the cake and it's done The cake is very soft when it's hot.
• So wait until it cools down a little before you cut, otherwise it may crack.
• It's also delicious with raisins instead of walnuts.
