Apple Spice Cake
Low fat doesn't have to mean low-flavor. This cake is moist and perfect for a holiday gathering.
Ingredients
- 700 grams Golden Delicious or Granny Smith apples (1.5 lb)
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ c. light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 pinch salt
- 110 grams flour (1 c. - 1 Tbsp)
- 75 ml milk (¼ c. + 1 Tbsp)
- 3 tsp baking powder
- powdered sugar to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Start by heating your oven to 350°F and greasing an 8.5" round pan. Then peel, core, and slice the apples and set aside.
- In your stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and salt until thick and creamy before adding in the flour, baking powder, and milk. Continue to beat until combined before folding in about two-thirds of the apples. Then, pour the batter into your pan and artfully arrange the remaining sliced apples on top. If desired, sprinkle with a tablespoon of brown sugar before baking for about 35 minutes or until golden brown and done in the middle. Remove from the oven and dust with powdered sugar before serving!
