Swedish Apple Cake Recipe

Instructions

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan.

2. Dry Mix: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom in a bowl. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.

4. Combine: Alternate mixing dry ingredients and milk into the wet mix until smooth (do not overmix).

5. Layer: Spread half the batter in the pan. Arrange half the apples evenly. Repeat with remaining batter and apples. (For flair, fan apple slices on top.)

6. Bake: 40–50 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool & Serve: Let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar.

Tips for Success

✔ Apples: Use firm varieties to prevent mushiness.
✔ Batter: Room-temperature ingredients blend easier.
✔ Texture: Cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
