That sounds like a real family favorite classic! Swedish Apple Cake is usually moist, lightly spiced, and full of tender apples, which is why it disappears so fast at gatherings 😄
Here’s a simple version you can make at home:
🍏 Swedish Apple Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4–5 medium apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup butter (melted)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round pan.
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Arrange apple slices on top, slightly pressing them into the batter.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
💡 Tips for best results:
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness.
- You can sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top for extra flavor.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
