Ingredients

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour

½ cup sugar

¾ tablespoon baking powder (make sure it's not expired)

3 large eggs (at room temperature)

½ cup avocado oil (any neutral cooking oil)

3 medium apples (peeled and diced small) (I used honey crisp (2 to 2 1/2 cups of diced apple total)

powdered sugar (for dusting)

½ cup milk

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray a 7-inch springform pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper. You can use a larger springform pan, but this will result in a thinner cake. Monitor closely during baking, as the time may vary.

In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, and baking powder, and stir to combine. Add the eggs and oil, and stir until fully combined. You should have a smooth but thick batter. Gently fold the apples into the batter until they are fully coated.

Pour the batter into the lined pan, and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

About 5 minutes before the cake is done, warm the milk, butter, and sugar in a small pot over medium heat. Whisk until the mixture heats up and the butter and sugar fully dissolve. Remove from the heat.

Remove the cake from the oven, and using a long skewer or chopstick, gently poke holes into the top of the cake, making sure to insert the skewer from the top to the bottom. I poke about 25 to 30 holes, making sure they are evenly spaced apart.

Take the warm milk mixture and gently pour it over the top of the cake. The cake will absorb this delicious mixture as it cools, so trust the process.

Once the cake absorbs the liquid, remove the springform and parchment paper around the cake. Place the cake onto a plate and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before you dig in! Make sure the cake has absorbed the topping as the interior will have a custard-like texture.

Optionally, dust the cake with powdered sugar once it has cooled and enjoy!
