Tips for success
- Measure flour correctly by spooning into the cup and leveling — this prevents dense cakes.
- Use room-temperature eggs for better emulsion and lift.
- Don’t overmix after adding flour; fold until just combined to keep crumb light.
- If your apples are very juicy, toss them in a tablespoon of flour before folding to avoid sinking.
