For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter in place of softened butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a nutty brown color and emits a toasted aroma. Let it cool slightly before using. A touch of lemon zest can brighten the flavors of this cake beautifully. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter along with the apple. Serve warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
