- Mix the flour together with the chemical yeast and sift both on top of the previous mixture.

- Add the apple cubes to the cake batterand mix with a spatula.
- Line a rectangular mold with baking paper about 26×16 cm. Pour the apple pie batter on top.
- Tip: You can also use a round, heart-shaped or plum cake mold.
- Cut the other two apples that we had reserved in half and cut them into not very thick slices.
- Put the overlapping sheets on top of the cake one on top of the other. Bake at 180ºC with heat up and down for 50 minutes.
- If the surface is too dark, cover it with aluminum foil.
- Tip: Check that the sponge cake is ready by piercing it all the way in with a sharp knife. When you take it out, it should come out with no traces of dough.
- Let cool on a wire rack. If you want to give the cake a bit of shine, melt a tablespoon of jam with a few drops of water in the microwave.
- Use a preferably light-colored jam, such as peach, apricot, or quince. Brush the surface of the cake with it.
- Consume your apple cake preferably the same day it is made.
- If you have left over for the next day, store it in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap.
- Remember that it is better to keep desserts with fruit in the fridge. You can also freeze it too.
