Oma's German Apple Cake (apfelkuchen)
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F (top & bottom heat). Grease or line a springform pan with parchment.

  2. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy (3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time and beat well.

  3. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into the batter alternately with milk or cream until smooth but thick.

  4. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.

  5. Peel, quarter and core the apples. Slice each quarter thinly on the top (fan shape) and drizzle with lemon juice.

  6. Arrange the apples closely on the batter and press in lightly. Sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon and almonds (if using).

  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and fragrant. If it browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 30 minutes.

  8. Cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve plain or with whipped cream.
