How to Make Appletorte Scandinavian Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9 or 10-inch springform pan or tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 6 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (about 3 medium apples).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle liberally with 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking around the 45-minute mark.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or your favorite topping. Enjoy!
