Instructions
-
Grate the lemon and orange zest using a grater.
-
Remove the cores from the apples and slice them thinly.
-
In an ovenproof dish with a diameter of 22cm, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of sugar and arrange the apples evenly. Sprinkle with cinnamon and another tablespoon of sugar.
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius until we prepare the batter.
-
In a large bowl, mix sugar, lemon zest, and orange zest. Using your fingers, mix these two ingredients well to achieve a beautiful colour of the cake.
-
Pour in the milk, oil, vanilla, and mix until the sugar dissolves.
-
Sift the flour and baking powder, then incorporate them with a whisk into the liquid mixture. Try not to overmix as the cake won't be as fluffy.
-
Pour the batter over the caramelized apples and place the dish in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.
-
Remove the cake from the oven, place a plate on top, and carefully flip it.
Enjoy your meal!
