Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of butter. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, cream together 14 tablespoons of softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with the beaten eggs, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. The dough will be sticky, so use a spatula to gently spread it out. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Arrange the thinly sliced apples evenly over the batter. Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples, and sprinkle with raisins. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (30-35 minutes)

07

Step

Let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving. (15 minutes)

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple slices.
If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly.
This cake is best served warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Feel free to experiment with different varieties of apples, such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji, to find your favorite flavor combination.
