Yield Makes 1 Cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons wheat germ (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
6 small Rome, Granny Smith, Yellow Delicious, or other low-moisture apples
Juice of 1/2 lemon
4 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Mix the flour, wheat germ, salt, and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
  • Peel, core, and slice the apples into eighths and place in another bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • In a third bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add the vegetable oil and 1 3/4 cups of the sugar; beat well. Stir in the vanilla.
  • To the egg mixture; alternately add the dry ingredients and the orange juice. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with half the sliced apples.
  • In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle half over the apples. Cover with the remaining batter.
  • Starting at the outside of the pan, neatly place the remaining apple slices in overlapping concentric circles. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Put some aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven in case the batter leaks. Bake the cake on the middle rack for 1 1/4 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack before you carefully remove the cake from the pan.
