preparation
1Preheat oven to 170 degrees circulating air.
2Line a square baking dish (approx. 30 x 30 cm)
with baking paper and set aside.
3Cut the apples into quarters and remove the core from each quarter.
Now cut each quarter into 6–7 thin slices.
4Put the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a
medium bowl. In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the
butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
5Add the eggs, lemon zest and vanilla and beat until smooth.
6Add 1/3 of the flour mixture and gently mix with a spatula. Add 1/2
of the milk and gently mix again. Repeat this process 3 more times:
flour, milk, flour, until everything is mixed in.
7Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the apples on top of the cake.
8Bake the cake for about 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick leaves
only one or two sticky crumbs.
