Method
1) Preheat the oven to 350 F/ 180 C. Grease a pan/ tray well and set aside.
2) In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar, add the lemon zest, eggs and salt and mix to combine.
3) Add the milk and whisk it all together so you have a smooth mixture.
4) Add the flour along with the baking powder and vanilla powder (or extract) and mix it together just long enough to combine the dry ingredients.
5) Sprinkle the apples with a about 3 tbsp of flour and toss them to coat.
6) Add the apples to the batter and fold them in.
7) Pour the batter in the prepared pan and bake it for about one hour to an hour and fifteen minutes or until fully cooked through.
8) Allow it to cool completely and dust generously with confectioner sugar.
Apple Cake Ready
Tips:
The batter might need to get thinned out with a bit of milk or thickened with a little extra flour. I tried my best to measure the ingredients as best as I could . Look at the picture so you can see what the consistency of the batter should look like.
