Dutch Apple Cake recipe

Warm and fresh out of the oven, this delicious Dutch Apple Cake has a crispy top and a hefty amount of apples. The charm of this cake is in its rustic appearance. It doesn’t need any frosting or dusting with confectioners’ sugar. Moist, tender, flavorful and perfect on its own. Not only that – it’s easy to put together, requiring just pantry staples.

Start by preheating the oven and greasing the springform pan. Next, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add in the vanilla extract. Whisk together the sour cream and buttermilk. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the sour cream buttermilk mixture in three parts, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Finally, fold in the sliced apples. Do not overmix. Transfer the cake batter to the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the top with granulated sugar. Bake the cake until golden brown and crackly on top. Let the cake cool slightly and enjoy!
