110grams flour
3.75mlbaking powder
pinchof salt
1kg large apple (around 3-4)a mix of varieties
2large eggsat room temperature
150grams sugar
45mldark rum
2.5mlvanilla extract
115gramsbutter (salted or unsalted)melted and cooled to room temperature
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 350ºF and adjust the oven rack to the center of the oven.
Butter an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan and place on a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Peel and core the apples, then dice them into 1-inch (3cm) pieces.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until foamy then whisk in the sugar, then rum and vanilla. Whisk in half of the flour mixture, then gently stir in half of the melted butter.Note: double the vanilla if you are not using rum
Stir in the remaining flour mixture, then the rest of the butter.
Fold in the apple cubes until they’re well-coated with the batter and scrape them into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top a little with a spatula.
Bake the cake for 50 minute to 1 hour, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. It may take less time, depending on the apples, so check the cake 5 or so minutes before the recommended baking time. Let the cake cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen the cake from the pan and carefully remove the sides of the cake pan, making sure no apples are stuck to it.
