, I was not supposed to post this recipe, I was just improvising, I didn’t even measured all the ingredients (I don’t have kitchen scales!), but the result was so good that I cannot help but post it!

To measure the ingredients I have used:

a small cap with a capacity of 230 ml
a big cup with a capacity of 370 ml

Ingredients

3 eggs
150 ml milk
40 ml e.v. olive oil
40 ml melted butter
1 small cup sugar
1 big cup flour + 1 tablespoon
3 teaspoons of baking powder
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1/4 apple, sliced
butter for greasing the baking pan

Method

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy (it will take at least 5 minutes). Add melted butter and the olive oil and mix. Pour in milk, sifted flour and baking powder and mix until combined. Add lemon juice and pour the batter in a greased plumcake baking pan.

Place the apple slices on top of the batter in a single line (in the middle of the pan). They will sink into the cake while cooking, so try to place them so that there will be an apple slice in each slice of the cake. Cook in preheated oven to 160°C for about 30 minutes.
