sunken apple cake

Sunken Apple Cake is a delicious German confection with a beautiful presentation. And, just like the name implies, beautiful apples are pressed into the thick batter before baking for moistness, taste, and appearance.

German Sunken Apple Cake (Versunkener Apfel Kuchen)

apples

butter (softened to room temperature)

sugar

eggs

vanilla extract

all-purpose flour

baking powder

salt

confectioners' sugar

cinnamon

milk

Preheat the oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit (175-degrees Celsius).

Liberally spray a 9&quot; springform pan with baking spray and set aside. *Note - When baking you may want to place the springform pan on a baking sheet, but that&#39;s optional.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar.

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the creamed butter and sugar along with the vanilla extract. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Use a spatula to gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Switch to a hand mixer (or stand mixer) and blend until the batter is fully incorporated and smooth. *Note - this will be a thick batter.

Spoon the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread the batter evenly throughout the pan. *Note - spraying the spatula with baking spray will prevent excessive sticking of the cake batter to the spatula.

Add the cored and sliced apple rounds to the top of the cake batter, and gently but firmly press them partially into the batter.

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

After baking cool the cake on a wire rack for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes remove the springform collar and allow the cake to completely before glazing.

To make the cake:

Whisk all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl until smooth and creamy. Add additional milk (1 teaspoon at a time), if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Drizzle the glaze liberally onto the cooled cake and serve cake slices with additional glaze if desired.
