TORTA DI MELE - ITALIAN APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/360F and adjust a baking rack onto the middle shelf. Grease and dust with flour (or line with parchment paper) a 9-inch cake pan and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, place the eggs and the sugar. Beat the mixture with an electric whisker until light and pale, then gently whisk in the olive oil, followed by the vanilla, and mix until all the ingredients are combined.
• Slowly incorporate the flour into the batter, mixing until just combined. Sprinkle the baking powder and a pinch on salt over the batter and mix until just combined (do not overmix).
• Fold into the batter 1-1/2 apples cut into tiny chunks, and lemon zest, and mix until just combined.
• Pour the apple cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Top the batter with the remaining 1-1/2 apples cut into thin slices, and bake in the oven for approximately 30-40 minutes. To check if the cake is ready, insert a toothpick in the middle, if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
• Remove from the oven, allow to cool and gently remove the apple cake from the pan.
• Dust the cake all over with confectioner sugar and serve at room temperature.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan.
• Mix together the apples, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the cake, combine the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, beat on medium high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined, then add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and yogurt. Beat on low speed until a few streaks remain, then fold together with a rubber spatula until fully combined. (Do not overmix.)
• Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with half of the apple mixture. Spread the batter over the top of the apples. Top the batter with the remaining apples, making decorative rows across the cake. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
