👨‍🍳 Method

To assemble

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 175°C (345°F) and grease Round pan 26 cm.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Peel the apples and cut into thin slices.

  3. 3
    Beat the eggs and sugar to a smooth batter.
    Whisk
  4. 4
    Add the oil, milk and vanilla extract and mix.
  5. 5
    Sift the gluten-free flour blend and baking powder, combine with the cinnamon and salt, add to the wet mixture and Fold gently, just until no dry gluten-free flour blend remains.
    ⚙ FoldingSilicone spatula
    💡Fold in the gluten-free flour blend only until there are no pockets of dry gluten-free flour blend: overmixing develops gluten, and the cake comes out dense.
    💡Fold with a spatula, in broad strokes from the bottom up, and stop when there's no dry flour: vigorous mixing of a batter with flour develops gluten.
  6. 6
    Pour into the pan and arrange the apple slices in a fan on the batter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
