Apple Cake

1. Follow the first four steps of the Basic White Cake recipe. Pour batter into an 8" spring pan that has been sprayed with oil.
2. Peel, quarter and core two large apples. Cut part way through the top (outer edge) of each apple quarter so that it fans out. Place the apple fans evenly across the top of the batter.
3. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out dry.
4. Cool and sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.
