- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the brown sugar mixture in the pan, overlapping as necessary.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the vanilla extract and buttermilk, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the arranged apples in the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of lemon juice to the apple mixture.
- This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
