Dear Alysha,
I'm glad you liked it...I can't give you specifics as far as measurements go, as I never measure...ich backe sozusagen 'ueber den Daumen'...but here are the ingredients...etc.
1. first grease and flour the pan...then that is out of the way.
2. peel the apples (4-5 approx) and cut in slices (any apple will do)
3. in a mixing bowl, add (butter, margarine, shortening...approx. 1 cup
4. add sugar...(1 cup)
5. beat till creamy
6. add eggs 2, perhaps 3 (room temperature is better)
7. beat again till very creamy
8. add flour (3 cups?), 3 tsp. baking powder...and some milk
9. mix it all up...it should be somewhat a bit stiffer than a cake mix consistency...add more flour as needed
10. put it in the cake pan...put the apple slices on top...arrange at a slight angle, wedge side down (cake will rise as it bakes).
11. sprinkle with cinnamon (you could put a tsp. of sugar...in the cinnamon..
12. add raising...but sometimes they can overbrown...
13. at the end, sometimes I mix icing sugar and lemon juice...to drizzle over, but I had none on hand when I made your cake.
anyways...the measurements of the ingredients also reflect which pan I use...sometimes I just do it in a cookie sheet with higher sides.
*note: it takes a little bit longer to bake, perhaps because of the apples and the moisture. insert a toothpick in the middle.
I wish I had accurate measurements to give you. it is just an ordinary 'Ruehrteig...with apple slices on top...sometimes you can also mix smaller apple pieces right into the better...
Good luck with the baking and of course with all your new endeavours! Don't lose touch, and send an email once in a while.
Cheers,
Christa
