How to Make Apple Pudding Cake With Lemon Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until thick and pale yellow (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  3. In a separate bowl, combine chopped walnuts, breadcrumbs, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced apples, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and 4 teaspoons of lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired drizzling consistency.
  10. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled cake.
  11. Sprinkle with remaining chopped walnuts (optional).
