• 3 eggs
• 1/3 of a packet of baking powder (levure chimique)
• 2 Golden apples
• 2 tablespoons of rum or Calvados
• A bit of brown sugar (cassonade) for topping

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to preheat at 180°C (about 350°F). This ensures that your cake bakes evenly.

Step 3: Prepare the Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Whisk them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
2. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the egg and sugar mixture.
3. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
4. Add the rum or Calvados and mix well.

Step 4: Prepare the Apples

1. Peel the two Golden apples and core them.
2. Cut the apples into small cubes or slices, depending on your preference.
3. Fold the apple pieces gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

1. Grease a loaf pan or cake tin with butter.
2. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
3. Sprinkle a little brown sugar on top for added sweetness and a nice crust.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

1. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
2. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Slice and serve the cake as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
