Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 4 min.
In a bowl, whisk together 1 1⁄3 cup flour, ¾ cup caster sugar, 1 ½ tablespoon baking powder and 1 ½ tablespoon Vanilla sugar.
Stage 2 - 4 min.
Stage 3 - 5 min.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Stage 4 - 10 min.
Peel 12 apples, cut in half, then remove the core (an apple scoop is ideal for this).
Stage 5 - 10 min.
Cut the apples into thin strips - a mandolin is ideal for this.
Stage 6 - 1 min.
Pour 1/4 into the dough bowl and mix well.
Stage 7 - 2 min.
Drain the apples lightly with a skimmer, and pour them into the mould.
Stage 8 - 10 min.
Repeat this operation until the mould is filled with all the apple slices.
Stage 9 - 40 min.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, protecting the top with a sheet of aluminum foil if it gets too brown at the end.
Stage 10
Turn out hot, then cool or chill before slicing.
Stage 11
Serve on its own, or with custard for those with a sweet tooth.
Remarks
If you have any leftover batter at the end of filling the tin, I advise you not to pour it into the tin to maintain the "lots of fruit, little batter" aspect of the cake. Instead, fill ramekins for small cakes.
You can use other fruits such as pears and peaches in this recipe.
