Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 C (3.95 oz) (112 gr) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 C (3.52 oz) (100 gr) granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 C (1.80 oz) (50 gr) brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, big
  • 1 tsp (0.17 fl oz) (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (1 fl oz) (30 ml) spiced rum
  • 3 apples, medium sized
  • 1 C (4.60 oz) (130 gr) all purpouse flour, sifted
  • 1 tsp (0.25 oz) (7 gr) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (0.06 oz) (1.7 gr) salt
  • Confectioners sugar , needed amount

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375º F (180º C). Line a round cake pan of about 8.66 inches (22 cm) in diameter with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cut the apples into small dices. Put them in water with some lemon or lime juice to keep them from oxidizing.
  3. In a big bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and both types of sugar for 3 minutes until you get a fluffy and lighter in color mixture.
  4. Add in the eggs one by one, beating for 30 seconds after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract along with the rum and beat until fully integrated.
  5. Add in the sifted flour along with the baking powder and salt and beat for 30 more seconds until you get a soft and smooth batter.
  6. Lastly, drain the apples and add them in. Mix using a rubber spatula until they are fully integrated.
  7. Pour the batter in the pan and bake the cake for about 40 minutes until it is slightly golden brown and a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
  8. Once ready, let it cool down for 10 minutes, then turn it out and place it on a cooling rack for it to cool down completely. Then, decorate with some confectioners sugar.
