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.
The cake was a little dense, not as light as I expected. I used a different type of apple. Maybe that affected the texture. The taste was still good.
Absolutely divine! The cake was so easy to make and the texture was perfect. The apples were perfectly tender and the batter was light and airy. My family loved it!
Great cake! The texture is amazing - so moist! The apple flavor really shines through. It's a perfect dessert for any occasion. Would definitely make it again.
Very tasty and easy to make. The cake was beautifully moist, and the apple flavor was perfect. I'd recommend using a firm apple for better texture. Happy with the outcome.
This cake is the definition of simple elegance. The instructions are straightforward, and the result is a stunningly delicious dessert. The apples practically melt in your mouth! Highly recommend.
