Step-by-step preparation
Prepare the apples
Peel them, remove the core, and cut them into small cubes. A little tip: roll them lightly in a spoonful of flour to prevent them from falling to the bottom of the cake.
Prepare the dough
Whisk the eggs and sugar until frothy. Add the melted butter and then the milk. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla seeds. Mix until you have a smooth dough.
Incorporation and cooking
Add the diced apples. Pour the batter into a buttered and floured pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes at 180°C, checking with the tip of a knife. If the top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.
Finishing and Serving Ideas
