This is the apple cake you can make with whatever apples are in the fruit bowl. The batter takes 10 minutes; the oven does the rest. For a no-bake dessert, try tiramisu.

Ingredients

  • 4 apples, peeled and sliced
  • 150 g (⅔ cup) soft butter
  • 150 g (¾ cup) sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200 g (1⅔ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon and a pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a 24 cm (9½ inch) springform tin.
  2. Toss the apple slices with the cinnamon.
  3. Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time and the vanilla.
  4. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until smooth.
  5. Spread the batter in the tin and press the apple slices on top in circles.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Cool and dust with powdered sugar.
