Step 1
Preheat the oven to gas 4/ 180℃/ 356℉. Line the sides and bottom of a round 20-cm/ 8-in baking pan.
Step 2
Peel, core and thinly slice apples. Soak them in water, and set them aside.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, place the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat them with a wooden spoon, a handheld mixer, or a hand whisk until the sugar dissolves.
Step 4
Fold in the flour, followed by the melted butter. Stir well until there are no lumps in the batter.
Step 5
Drain the sliced apples and dry them with a kitchen towel/ paper.
Step 6
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Then arrange apple slices on the top, leaving some apples for decoration.
Step 7
Put the other half of the batter over the apples and spread it as evenly as possible. It may be tricky as the batter is sticky.
Step 8
Lastly, arrange the remaining apple over the batter.
Step 9
Bake the cake for about 1 ¼ hours.
Step 10
Once the cake is baked - you can spring test it - leave it to cool for 15 minutes in the pan, before taking it out of the pan.
