One Bowl Apple Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Wash the apples well with a sponge.
2. 2
   Leave the skin on one and peel the other.
3. 3
   Cut both apples into 8 slices, remove the core, and slice again into 5 mm pieces.
4. 4
   Beat the egg with a whisk in a large bowl.
5. 5
   Add the sugar and vegetable oil and mix until thickened.
6. 6
   Add the apples to Step 2 and stir once, then add the ingredients (sift in if you can).
7. 7
   Mix until just combined.
8. 8
   Pour into the chiffon cake mold and rap against the counter 2 or 3 times to even out the surface.
9. 9
   Bake for 40-50 minutes in an oven preheated to 180C.
10. 10
    If using a cake mold, bake for 50-60 minutes.
11. 11
    (If it begins to darken midway through baking, cover with aluminium foil).
12. 12
    Once an inserted skewer comes out clean, it's finished.
13. 13
    If it doesn't come out of the mold easily, stick in a milk carton, as shown in the photo, and slide it around the edge.
14. 14
    Then it will come out easily.
15. 15
    This is best eaten the day after cooking, as the flavors will meld.
16. 16
    I also tried making it with olive oil, and it didn't alter the taste.
17. 17
    Make sure to use neutral oils, otherwise it'll add an unwanted fragrance to the cake.
18. 18
    Using baking soda caused the cake to turn a light brown color when baked.
19. 19
    I also tried baking powder, but I think it tasted better with baking soda.
