Apple Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Beat butter (room temperature) with sugar until you get a fluffy white mixture. Add the egg yolks one by one and stir well.
2. 2
   In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a few drops of lemon and add to the egg yolk mixture, alternating with the flour and the baking powder.
3. 3
   After all is well mixed, grease a round cake tin, pour half the batter and place the apple slices in the middle (leave some set aside for the top of the cake).
4. 4
   Pour in the remaining dough, and distribute the rest of the apple slices on top.
5. 5
   Bake in the oven at 360°F for 45 minutes or until well done. Perform the toothpick test if unsure.
6. 6
   Remove from the oven and brush the top of the cake with the apple compote.
