For the cake’s decoration, confectioners’ sugar (optional).
Here are the directions:
Get the Pan Ready: Get the oven up to 350°F (175°C) and place a rack in the center.
Melt some butter or coat a 9-inch springform or cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Grease and line the bottom of a standard cake pan if you’re using one.
To combine the dry ingredients, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small basin.
Cream Cream together the butter and granulated sugar using a handheld mixer fitted with beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until they are light and fluffy, which should take around three minutes.
Flavorings and Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time while scraping down the bowl edges after each addition.
Toss in the rum and vanilla bean paste. At this stage, it’s typical for the batter to seem gritty.
Toss in the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated, using a low speed mixer. Toss in the diced apples with a rubber spatula.
In order to get the pan ready to bake, scrape the batter into it and level it up.
Use 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and distribute it evenly.
To bake, stick a toothpick into the middle of the cake and bake for about 40 minutes, or until brown.
Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack.
Wait for the cake to cool before serving by running a dull knife around its perimeter.
Take the pan’s sides off if it’s a springform. If you’re using a standard cake pan, carefully transfer the cake to the rack, peel off the parchment paper, and turn it upside down onto a dish. If you’re using confectioners’ sugar, sprinkle it on top using a fine sieve.
Tips for Serving:
Warm or room temperature, serve the cake.
Try it with some vanilla ice cream or gently sweetened whipped cream for a delicious treat.
Hints for Recipes:
For the sugar to cream well with the butter, the butter must be at room temperature.
To prevent a thick cake, do not overmix the mixture after adding the flour.
