How to Make Dutch Apple Cake With Hot Lemon Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup milk. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Gently fold the apples into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon sauce:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup boiling water until smooth.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the zest of 1 lemon, ¼ cup lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving warm with the hot lemon sauce.
