Instructions soft cake with moist apple filling
- Peel the apples and remove the cores. Grate on a grater with large holes directly into the pot. Add sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract, then turn on the heat.

Cake instructions
- All the ingredients must be at room temperature.
- Beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer until the eggs have increased their volume 3 times and you have obtained a dense but light mass. Gradually pour in the oil and milk while continuing to whisk.
- Sift the flour with the baking powder directly into the batter and stir in gently with a spatula with movements from top to bottom.
- Line a 24 x 34 cm pan with baking paper. Pour half of the batter into a pan and level it gently. Bake in the preaheted static oven at 180ºC for about 15 minutes or until it becomes golden. When you touch it, it should no longer be liquid.
- Remove from the oven and gently spread the cold apple filling. Pour the rest of the batter over the apples leveling it gently. Bake another 35-40 minutes at 180ºC or until the toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. There may be bits of apple stuck to it but not the raw batter.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Before serving dust with a generous layer of powdered sugar.
