How to prepare Apple Plumcake

To prepare the apple plumcake, wash and halve the apples 1, then remove the seeds and core 2. Cut 1 and a half apples lengthwise 3,

this way it will be easier to cut them into regular cubes of about 0.4 inches 4. Put the apple pieces in a bowl, add 1/4 cup of brown sugar 5 and the juice of one squeezed and filtered orange 6.

Stir and set aside 7. Meanwhile, in a bowl, pour the eggs, 1/2 cup of brown sugar 8, and salt 9,

work for a couple of minutes with an electric mixer 10, then add the vegetable oil 11 and continue to work to combine everything 12.

Sift the flour 13 and baking powder into the bowl, also add the cinnamon 14 and continue to work with the electric mixer 15

to obtain a smooth and homogeneous mixture 16. Add the apples that you had marinated with sugar and orange juice 17 and mix with a spatula to combine them into the batter 18.

Butter and flour a plumcake mold and fill it with the batter. Using a mandoline, slice the remaining half apple into slices about 1/8 inches thick (19-20). Decorate the top of the plumcake with the apple slices 21, covering the entire surface.

Sprinkle with the brown sugar 22 and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 40 minutes on the middle rack. Once ready, take your apple plumcake out of the oven 23 and let it cool slightly. Then remove it from the mold 24 and slice it to enjoy all its goodness!
