Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice apples very thinly (use a mandoline if possible) and set aside in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs with both sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
- Gently fold apple slices into the batter until all slices are coated. The batter will be thin, and apples should be layered with just enough batter to bind.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a loaf pan or square pan with parchment paper.
- Pour apple mixture into the pan, pressing lightly to arrange apples in neat layers.
- Sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let cake cool completely before slicing, as this helps it hold together. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
