How to Make Italian Apple Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and amaretto (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the sliced apples.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar (optional) and serving.
