For best results, use room-temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples for a unique flavor profile. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the cake with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking. This cake is even more delicious when served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Dec 9, 2023Be careful not to overbake the cake, as it can become dry. Start checking for doneness around 1 hour.
