    1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 160-170°C (320-340°F).

    1. Prepare the Apple:
      • Peel and core the apple, then chop it into small pieces.
      • Toss the apple pieces with a tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.

    1. Prepare the Baking Mold:
      • Grease a 26 cm (10-inch) diameter mold with butter.

    1. Cook the Apples:
        • In a small pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
        • Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and the apple pieces.
        • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized (about 5 minutes). Set aside to cool.

    2. Mix the Batter:
        • In a large mixing bowl, beat the 2 eggs with 6 tablespoons of sugar and 8g of vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
        • Gradually add 8 tablespoons of oil, continuing to beat the mixture.

      • Add 10 tablespoons of milk and mix well.
      • Sift in 230g of flour and 16g of baking powder, and gently fold into the mixture until well combined.

    1. Add Apples and Raisins:
      • Gently fold the caramelized apples and 50g of raisins into the batter.
    2. Bake:
        • Pour the batter into the prepared mold.

      • Smooth the top with a spatula.
      • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  1. Cool and Serve:
      • Let the cake cool in the mold for about 10 minutes.
