Preparation

How to prepare Apple Cake in a Pan

To prepare the apple cake in a pan, start by pouring eggs with sugar 1 and cinnamon 2 into a bowl. Turn on the beaters and whip for 10 minutes 3.

When the mixture is well-risen, add the oil 4 and then the milk 5 in a thin stream. Turn off the beaters and sift the flour and baking powder directly into the bowl 6.

Turn on the beaters for a moment to mix 7 and set aside for a moment. Cut half an apple into cubes of about 1/2-3/4 inch 8, and with the rest, make wedges about 1/8 inch thick 9.

Pour the apple pieces into the bowl with the batter 10 and mix 11. Grease a pan, with a diameter of 9 1/2 inches on the surface and 8 inches at the base, and let the butter melt by spreading it with a napkin 12.

When the bottom is hot, pour the apple cake batter 13. Arrange the apple slices in a fan: start from the outside 14 and reach the center 15.

Cover with the lid 16 and let it cook on low heat for about 40 minutes 17. Place a pizza plate 18 on the surface (after gently detaching the cake from the edges and base with a spatula).

Flip the cake and gently turn it back into the pan 19 to brown for another 5-10 minutes on low heat with the lid 20. When the apple cake in the pan is cool, dust with powdered sugar as desired and serve 21.

Storage

The apple cake in a pan can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Advice

We recommend cooking the apple cake in a pan on an induction stove. If you don't have one, you can also cook the cake on a classic gas stove. You should use the medium burner and cook the cake on low heat; it's important to always pour the batter into the already hot pan. Cooking times also vary: cook for 25 minutes before flipping the cake, then cook for another 5 minutes and always perform the toothpick test before turning off the heat.

To make the apple cake in a pan, it is advised to use a high-sided, non-stick pan and a lid with a steam vent, of the right size.

Flavor the batter with vanilla seeds or citrus zest as desired.
