Ingredients for the apple and nut sheet cake

• applesThey provide the fruity note and make the cake extra moist. Slightly tart varieties such as Elster, Boskoop or Braeburn are best suited.
• Butter: Use very soft butter so that it blends well with the other ingredients and the batter becomes nice and fluffy.
• Yogurt: It adds extra moisture to the dough and ensures that the cake still tastes moist the next day.
• Hazelnuts: Ground hazelnuts give the entire dough a delicate nutty aroma, while the chopped hazelnuts add a bit of crunch.
• Lemon: The grated zest of an organic lemon adds a light freshness to the cake and goes wonderfully with apples and hazelnuts.
• Vanilla sugar: The subtle vanilla note rounds off the flavor of the apples and nuts.
• Icing sugar: This simple apple cake doesn't really need any more decoration. It's lightly dusted with it after it has cooled.

Tips for the perfect apple and nut cake

• Cut the apples evenly: cut the peeled apples into wedges of roughly the same size. This way they will all soften at the same rate when baked.
• Use butter that is really soft. Take it out of the refrigerator in good time. This will make it easier to stir into the egg mixture.
• Stir in the flour only briefly: once the flour, baking powder, and hazelnuts have combined with the rest of the batter, that's enough. This keeps the batter nice and light.
• Lightly press in the apple slices. Distribute them evenly over the dough and press them in slightly. This helps the apples and dough to bind together beautifully during baking.
• Do the toothpick test. Every oven bakes a little differently. Therefore, towards the end of the baking time, check with a wooden toothpick whether the cake is cooked through.
