Elegant Apple Cake – A Quick Five-Star Delight

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your baking pan thoroughly with butter or spray.
Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl until the mixture turns pale and airy.
Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
In a second bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix—just until combined.
Add the apple slices, folding them in until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the surface.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Top with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream for a classic finishing touch.
Lightly dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with warm caramel for extra elegance.

The tartness of the apples cuts through the sweetness perfectly.
Melted butter adds rich flavor and ensures a moist crumb.
No fancy steps or hard-to-find ingredients—just a beautiful cake ready in under an hour.
