Ingredients:

    • 3 medium eggs
    • 100 grams (1/2 cup) butter
    • 100 grams (1/2 cup) sugar (adjust to taste)
    • Approximately 310 grams (2 1/2 cups) wheat flour
    • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
    • A pinch of salt
    • Vanilla extract (to taste)
    • 2 apples (400-500 grams), peeled, cored, and diced
    • 30 grams (1/4 cup) dried cherries, raisins, or nuts (optional)

Directions:

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a baking pan.
    2. Prepare Batter: In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
    1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
    2. Add Apples and Mix-ins: Fold in the diced apples and dried cherries, raisins, or nuts if using.
    3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  1. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
