Instructions
 

Sifting Dry Ingredients

  • First, combine the flour, salt, ground spices, baking soda and baking powder in a sieve.
  • Sift the dry ingredients twice and set aside.
  • Brush or grease a round 7.5 to 8-inch pan with a neutral flavored oil. You can also line the pan with parchment. Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes.

Making Apple Puree

  • Take the chopped apples (rinsed, cored and peeled) and raw sugar in a blender jar or container.
  • Blend to a smooth purée without any chunks.
  • Use a spatula to pour the apple puree into a mixing bowl.

Making Liquid Mixture

  • Add oil, water, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
  • With a wired whisk, stir this mixture briskly for 2 to 3 minutes so that the oil is incorporated evenly in it.
  • Add the sifted dry ingredients to this wet ingredients liquid mixture.

Mixing Dry Ingredients

  • Gently mix the dry ingredients in the wet ingredients with light pressure from your hands. Don't over work the batter. It should feel light and have volume.
  • The batter has a medium flowing consistency.
  • Break large lumps of flour if any by tapping on them with wired whisk. Tiny lumps are fine in the batter.
  • Pour the batter in the prepared pan.

Baking Apple Cake

  • Bake at 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit) in a preheated oven for about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remember that oven temperatures vary, so check if the cake is done or not with a toothpick when the top looks golden.
  • Check the doneness with a wooden skewer. The skewer should come out clean with no sticky batter on it.
  • Place the baking pan on a wired tray and cool the apple cake at room temperature.
  • After cooling, gently use a butter knife to remove the cake from the pan.
  • Slice and enjoy the apple cake. Serve the cake slices at room temperature with tea or coffee.

Storage And Leftovers

  • Tightly wrap the cake in a cling film or keep the cake in an airtight container and refrigerate. Your leftover apple cake can be refrigerated for a week and frozen for a month.
