Apple Pound Cake

recipe

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 220°C. Add the softened butter and sugar* to a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the eggs and a pinch of salt and mix again. *Check out our tips for this step
• Step 2
  Optional: Replace 1/4 of the flour with almond flour, for even more flavor and moisture. Add the flour (and almond flour if you use) to the butter/sugar mixture and combine.
• Step 3
  Wash and peel the apples. Cut into quarters.
• Step 4
  Place half the apples in the bottom of the cake pan (we used a 29 x 10 cm dish here), pour in the batter and add in the rest of the apples. Sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar. Optional: add sliced almonds on top.
• Step 5
  Bake for 10 minutes at 220°C. Then lower to 180°C and cook for another 30 minutes.
• Step 6
  Once the loaf is golden, plant the tip of a knife into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is ready, otherwise, bake it for another 2-3 min. Leave to cool before serving. Enjoy !
