Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9 x 9 square cake pan or a 9-inch round cake pan with removable bottom.
Add the apple pieces and slices into a small bowl and squeeze the lemon juice over it; set aside.
In a medium skillet, add the apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and jam. Stir together.
Sauté on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. The apples are ready when they are soft to touch when you poke with a fork.
Set the pan aside and let it cool for a few minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Toss in the lemon zest and with your hands, mix it into the flour mixture to release the lemon essence.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and eggs until creamy (about 5 minutes)You could beat this by hand with a wooden spoon. Beat in the oil and the sourdough discard. Mix well, stopping mixer to scrape sides of bowl to incorporate.
Add flour mixture into the sourdough mixture a half up at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with spatula and mix well after every addition.

Amazing! I used my whole rye sourdough discard in the recipe and was really nervous, that the cake would not grow enaugh and be very Compact. However, the end result was a huge fluffy delicious apple cake :) I liked particularly like the topping, it was a new method of making the topping of a cake for me, as I usually put dough sprinkles on top.
Thank you for this recipe!
