This is perfect for days on which you do not feel like shopping for specific ingredients. Chances are everything you need is already in the pantry.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 apples (I used Gala), peeled, cored and cut into slices
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease or spray a 9" tart or cake pan.
In a small bowl whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer, or with a handheld mixer, cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy- about 2-3 min.
Prep the apples.
Add the eggs, one by one, and mix.
Add the vanilla extract, and almond extract if using.
Turn the mixer to low, and slowly add the dry ingredients. Mix slowly till well incorporated.
Transfer the batter to the prepped pan. It will be sticky, and will need smoothing out with a spatula.
Arrange the apples on top.
Mix the last 1/3 cup of sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle it on top of the apples.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or till a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Notes
It might look as if the top is browning too fast but do not cover the top. A few dark bits are better than the whole thing going soggy.
If in doubt about whether it is done take it out after 40 min- it will continue to cook a little longer in the pan.
I'm not sure what makes this cake German but that's what the recipe said so I'll go along.

Be careful if you hit that link. You'll get a great food blog but also unending Republican ads about how a vote for Clinton would be a vote against Modi's government (if only we were so lucky).
