Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples using a mandoline or a sharp knife. The thinner, the better.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the apple slices into the batter, ensuring they are well coated. You can also add the cinnamon in this step.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading evenly. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
This cake is a showstopper! It's elegant, delicious, and easy to prepare. The combination of apple, vanilla, and cinnamon is simply divine. Everyone enjoyed it!
This is a truly wonderful cake. The simplicity is key – it's easy to prepare and the results are fantastic. The apples create such a lovely texture. Everyone loved it.
A great recipe. The cake turned out perfectly moist and flavorful. The apples were delicious. I might experiment with different types of apples next time.
It was okay. The cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, and some of the apple slices didn't cook quite as much as I'd have liked. The texture was interesting, but not my favorite.
This recipe is a keeper! Simple ingredients, easy to follow, and the result is a stunning and delicious cake. It's perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Highly recommended.
