Hands down, the moistest, flavorful, apple cake I have ever tasted. This is Cakespy's take on a traditional European Jewish Apple Cake. Make it. You will not be dissapointed.

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8” square baking pan.

Ingredients

1 1⁄4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt

Step 2

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt together in a mixing bowl. Give dry ingredients a stir and set the bowl aside.

Ingredients

4 medium Apple, peeled and cut into thin slices
1⁄2 cup Jam, Smucker's Red Plum Jam (I didn't have any so I used Kissel's Strawberry Basil Jam)
1⁄2 Lemon, Juiced

Step 3

In another bowl, combine apple slices, Smucker’s Red Plum jam and lemon juice. Mix up so that apples are coated in jam and lemon juice. Set aside.

Ingredients

3 Large Eggs, brought to room temperature
1 cup Sugar
1⁄2 cup Vegetable Oil
1⁄2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1⁄2 teaspoon Almond Extract

Step 4

Beat the eggs well, either with electric beater on medium, or vigorously by hand. Gradually add sugar and beat (about 2 min.), or mix by hand, till mixture is almost fluffy. Add oil and vanilla and almond extracts, and continue to beat and scrape side of bowl till all is combined.

Step 5

Next, mix in the flour mixture (if using electric beater, reduce speed to low). Mix short time more till batter is blended to uniform color and consistency.

Step 6

Take just half of the batter and spread evenly in the baking pan. Next, cover the layer of batter with the apple and jam mixture. Then spread the remaining half of the batter over the apples.

Ingredients

Ground Cinnamon, A "shake or two"

Step 7

Give a light shake or two of cinnamon over the surface of the cake. Bake on the center rack till golden (approximately one hour). After removing from oven, let the cake cool. Cut into squares and serve.
