Eplekake (apple cake)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a 24 cm round tin.
2. Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into thin slices.
3. Toss the apple slices with the sugar and cinnamon, then set aside.
4. Beat the butter with the sugar until pale and creamy, then add the eggs one by one.
5. Fold in the flour, baking powder, salt and milk to get a soft batter.
6. Spread the batter over the bottom of the tin, then arrange the apples in a rosette on top, pressing them in slightly.
7. Bake for 40 minutes, until the top is golden and a skewer comes out dry.
8. Let it cool slightly before turning out and serve with crème fraîche.
