Fluffy Apple Cream Cake

Prepare the Cake Batter:

Preheat your oven to 180℃ (356℉).
Line a 24cm baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs with a pinch of salt until slightly frothy.
Add 8g vanilla sugar and 120g sugar, and whisk until the mixture becomes light and airy.
Gradually mix in 100ml of vegetable oil and 130ml of warm milk.
Sift together 280g flour and 16g baking powder, then gently fold into the wet ingredients until smooth.
Carefully fold in the chopped apples and 50g raisins.
Assemble the Cake:

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan.
Evenly spread the cooled cream over the batter layer.
Pour the remaining batter over the cream, smoothing it to cover the entire surface.
Arrange the thin apple slices on top.
Prepare the Egg Wash:

In a small bowl, mix 1 egg yolk with 2 tbsp milk.
Brush the apple slices with the egg wash.
Bake the Cake:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:

Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions:
