Apple Cake
This classic apple cake combines tart apples, butter and eggs into a tender, fragrant dessert.

Ideal for afternoon tea or a cosy weekend treat with minimal effort.
About this recipe
Apple Cake Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the comforting smell of warm cinnamon-spiced fruit straight into your kitchen. This traditional cake recipe layers slices of tart apples into a rich batter of butter, eggs and baker's sugar, creating a moist crumb with pleasantly sharp fruit pockets in every bite. The all-in-one kitchen machine makes it wonderfully straightforward: you weigh the flour and sugar directly in the mixing bowl, cream the butter with sugar in seconds and whip the eggs light and golden before folding everything into a smooth batter. A splash of brandy, entirely optional, deepens the flavour and pairs beautifully with the tartness of the apples. Serve this cake slightly warm as a dessert with a spoonful of cream, or cold as an afternoon snack with coffee. It is the kind of reliable baking recipe that works for weekend gatherings, birthday tables or a quiet Sunday treat, and it never fails to impress.
Preparation tips
- Choose firm, tart apples such as Boskoop or Granny Smith so the slices keep their shape during baking and provide a pleasant contrast to the sweet batter of butter and baker's sugar.
- Peel and slice the apples just before folding them into the batter, then toss them with a little lemon juice to prevent browning and to reinforce the fresh, tangy flavour of the cake.
- Serve the apple cake slightly warm with a dusting of extra baker's sugar or a spoonful of whipped cream; leftover cake keeps well wrapped for two days and tastes even more flavoursome the next day.
Recipe variations
- Alcohol-free version: simply leave out the brandy and replace it with a splash of apple juice or a teaspoon of vanilla extract; the cake stays just as moist and the fruity apple flavour comes through even more clearly.
- Festive winter variation: add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a handful of sultanas soaked in tea to the batter, then finish with flaked almonds on top for a seasonal apple cake worthy of any Christmas table.
