Apple cake

Great cake for breakfast. I use whatever apple variety is "cheap" at the market because I am not that fancy. 


Ingredients:

500 gr of apples
100 gr of butter
100 gr of sugar
2 big brown eggs
150 gr of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 lemon
ground cinnamon
powdered sugar for topping

cook at 180 C / 360 F

Pre-heat the oven.

Start by peeling the apples and cutting them into slices. Place the apple slices into a bowl with cinnamon and the juice of a lemon and set aside.

Melt the butter and let it cool off then add the sugar and the eggs. Slowly add the flour (already mixed with the baking powder) using a sieve. When the batter is uniform and thick, grate the zest of a lemon and half of the apple slices and the juice. Cover a cake pan about 22 cm diameter with parchment and then pour in the batter. Place the remaining slices on top using your own imagination and bake it for about 40 minutes.

Let the cake cool off and then dust the top with powdered sugar.
