Serve 6

150 Gr. All purpose flour – sifted
12 Gr. / 3 Teaspoon Baking powder
120 Gr. Sugar
Pinch Salt
60 Gr. Vegetable Oil
100 Ml. Milk

For the Frosting
1 Whole Egg
80 Gr. Butter melted
100 Gr. Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven at 170 Celsius – Butter and flour a baking dish or baking tin. I use a 23cm baking pan.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix the ingredients with a whisk, then add the eggs, oil and milk and continue mixing until there are no lumps. Pour the batter onto the baking dish.
Stir in the chopped apples on top of the cake.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Whilst your cake is baking, melt the butter in the microwave using the same bowl as the cake mixture.
Once melted, stir in the sugar and the last egg and using a whisk, mix well.
Pour the egg mixture over the cake and bake for another 12 minutes.
Leave it to cool for 10 minutes and serve.
You can also leave it at room temperature until cooled completely.
Dust a little powder sugar or serve with Chantilly cream or ice cream
Voila !
