Delicious French Apple Cake

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 to 3 medium apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until pale and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
6. Add the sliced apples to the batter and gently fold them in.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
