Apple Poppy Seed Cake

Last month I was asked for a suggestion of a cake with apples and poppy seeds so, after running a couple of tests, I came up with the right recipe, quick and simple. It's a soft, fluffly and savoury cake. The poppy seeds will add a bit of crunchiness to the texture but, if you don't like that, you can skip or replace with walnuts.

Ingredients

Butter

100 g

softened, at room temperature

Vegetable oil

6 tbsp

●

Step by step

Step 1

Wash, peel, core the apples and cut into medium sized cubes.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the softened butter and the sugar, mix well with a whisk or the mixer.

Step 3

Then add the 3 eggs in turn, stirring well after each one.

Step 4

In the same way, incorporate 6 tbsp oil, one after the other.

Step 5

Now stir in the flour, baking powder and poppy seeds, mix well.

The dough should be like yogurt or like thick sour cream.

Step 6

At the end, add in the vanilla extract and the apples, mix to combine.

Step 7

Line a springform tin with parchment paper, this one is 28 cm in diameter. Tip batter into the tin and even out with a spoon.

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

Step 9

Carefully unmould the cake, slice and taste, it's so delicious and flavourful.

Enjoy!
