Apple cake: A quick and irresistible dessert

Apples are a true treasure of our orchards. They are already falling from the trees, lining up in a delicious alley. The obvious choice for processing them in the kitchen is to prepare an apple pie, one of the most popular baked goods. However, it is worth reaching for an even simpler and quicker recipe for dessert.

A simple apple cake with oil is the perfect dessert recipe when you don't have much time and guests or in-laws are about to arrive. The ingredients are usually at home, preparation is quick, and the aroma of baked cake will fill the whole apartment. Such a dessert is a temptation that is simply irresistible.

This is the best recipe for a quick and inexpensive cake. Apples are readily available, and buying them won't hurt our pockets either. The cake uses oil instead of butter.

Oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3 acids. Cakes made with canola oil are usually lighter and more moist than those made with butter. Additionally, it is ready to use immediately; there's no need to melt it like butter, so the cake is also made in no time.

Ingredients:

              
• 2.5 cups of wheat flour
• 6 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 3/4 cup of oil
• 1 kg of apples
• Powdered sugar for sprinkling

Preparation:

            
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with the sugar until fluffy.
2. Add the sifted flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the beaten eggs. Mix gently.
3. Pour the oil into the batter and mix.
4. Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into eighths. Add to the batter and mix gently.
5. Grease a baking tin with dimensions of 24 x 28 cm.
6. Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and place it in the preheated oven.
7. Bake for about 40 minutes at 180°C.

After baking and cooling, sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar. You can also add a bit of ground cinnamon to the cake - its flavour pairs beautifully with apples. Enjoy!
