This French Apple Cake is super easy, can be made very quickly, and transforms into a fancy cake perfect for a dinner party or special occasion. Plus, all the ingredients are easy to find. The rum and the warm apples wrapped in fluffy cake gives you the perfect bite. Add some whipped cream on top and it becomes delightfully sweet. If you don’t have any rum on hand, it’s okay to leave it out—however, the rum really elevates the cake. Serve with coffee or tea at your next cozy gathering.

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Beat butter and granulated sugar with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until lightened and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until just incorporated. Beat in rum and vanilla until just incorporated. Add flour mixture; beat until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in apples. 

  • Spoon batter into prepared pan, spreading to edges. Bake in preheated oven until top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack, about 30 minutes. Run a knife around cake edges to loosen from pan; invert onto a cake plate. Dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
