How to Make Apple Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a 9-inch round springform cake pan.
- To make streusel topping, sift flour into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Stir in the sugar and reserve.
- Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. To make the cake, sift the flour into a bowl with the baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Place the butter and the superfine sugar in a separate bowl and beat together until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, adding a little of the flour mixture with the last addition of egg. Gently fold in half of the remaining flour mixture, then fold in the rest with the milk.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top. Cover with sliced apples and sprinkle with streusel topping evenly over top. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until browned and firm to the touch. Let cool IN THE PAN before removing the sides. Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar before serving.
