7. Add the apples:
   • Add about two-thirds of the apple slices to the mixture and stir to distribute them evenly.
8. Pour the mixture into the pan:

9. Bake the cake:
   • Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
10. Cool and decorate:
    • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, dust the top of the cake with icing sugar before serving.
