Unbeatable Apple Cake with Vanilla Pudding – In the Oven in 10 Minutes

Preparation
Step 1: Prepare

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Grease a springform pan (26 cm in diameter). Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.

Step 2: Cook the Vanilla Pudding

Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions using 400 ml of milk and the packet of vanilla sugar. Let it cool slightly so it’s not too hot when poured over the batter.

Step 3: Make the Batter

In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and eggs until creamy. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix into a smooth batter.

Step 4: Layer

Pour the batter into the springform pan and smooth it out. Evenly distribute the apple cubes over the top. Pour the still-warm (but not hot) pudding over the apples and gently spread it out.

Step 5: Bake & Serve

Bake the cake for about 35 minutes until golden yellow. Let it cool before serving – this allows the pudding to set nicely and blend perfectly with the base.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

Pudding too hot: If you pour it directly from the stove onto the batter, the base can become soggy.

Too many apples: Excess fruit makes the cake too wet and heavy.

Underestimating bake time: A moist cake needs the full 35 minutes – use a toothpick to test for doneness.

Serving Tip
Sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon for a warm, autumnal flavor. Or go all out: a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream make it the perfect dessert. ☁️🍦

A simple apple dream with a hint of vanilla – perfect when you need something quick, but still delicious.
