German apple cake
I found this “German apple cake” in German family desserts, which is quite similar to a pound cake without baking powder. The butter batter of the original recipe is composed of 4 main ingredients, butter, sugar, egg liquid, and low-gluten flour, with the same weight. I reduced the amount of granulated sugar a lot, and if there is vanilla extract, you can add a little bit. During the baking process, the whole house is full of the rich aroma of butter, and the baked cake tastes very fragrant and not too sweet.
