Poppy seed cake with grated apples and sour cream is one of the quickest cakes you can bake: the batter takes about two minutes to prepare. Simply mix the ingredients in one bowl, then stir in the grated apples last. The batter is leavened with baking soda and baked in a 24 cm round pan for 30 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Once cooled, just dust it with powdered sugar, and it is ready for the whole family.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Mix all the ingredients except the apples in a medium bowl, then stir in the grated apples last.
Pour the smooth batter into a round pan about 24 cm in diameter lined with parchment paper. If making a smaller batch, use a smaller pan, 16 cm in diameter.
Bake the cake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar.

Tip: Coarsely grate the apples only after the batter is ready, then stir them in immediately. If left to sit, they will release juice that would thin the batter.
