Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 4 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a small bowl, melt 1/2 cup of butter and mix with the brown sugar. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
  3. Arrange the apple slices on top of the brown sugar mixture, covering the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until smooth.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour the batter over the apple slices in the cake pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then flip it over onto a plate to reveal the caramelized apple topping.
