Step-by-step preparation
Preparing the apples
Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into small cubes. Little tip: lightly coating them in a spoonful of flour will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
Preparing the batter
Whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is frothy. Add the melted butter, then the milk. Incorporate the flour, baking powder, and vanilla seeds. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
Combining and baking
Add the apple cubes. Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes at 180°C (350°F), checking for doneness with a knife tip. If the top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.
