1 cake
- Serves:
- 16-20
ingredients
- 2 medium apples (I used one Granny Smith & one Golden Delicious apple)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (heaping)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1⁄4 cups buttermilk or 1 1/4 cups sour milk
- 1⁄4 cup orange juice (or just use 1/4 cup buttermilk instead)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- raisins (optional)
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan.I also line it with parchment paper.
- Now ,thinly slice the apples and soak them in cold water with some lemon juice squeezed in, to prevent discoloration. Set aside.
- Next, whisk the eggs until frothy.Add the sugar and continue whisking until fairly creamy ( or until sugar dissolves and blends in).Add the salt ,cinnamon and baking soda.Then,mix in the sour cream,buttermilk,and orange juice (if using any).
- Gradually, add the flour to the mixture and mix until incorporated (do not overmix).If there are any lumps,mush them with a fork against the sides of the bowl.Gently fold in the raisins at this point,if using any.
- Finally, pour the batter into the greased pan and line the top with the apple slices in any pattern you prefer.
- Bake for 40-45 minute or until tester comes out clean.
- Allow to cool and cut into squares.Serve.
- NOTE: This cake tastes better after it stands for a while.
