Welcome to the kitchen and introduce the recipe for European-style apple cake.

Prepare 1 large apple (300 g) by slicing it into 1 cm slices with the skin on for the top layer.

Toss the sliced apple with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to coat.

In a large bowl, crack 3 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Whisk until bubbly.

Mash 1 banana and add 2 tablespoons honey, then beat until smooth.

While whisking, drizzle in 1/3 cup oil and fold in 2/3 cup milk.

Sift together 1 and 3/4 cups flour and 1 tablespoon baking powder, then fold into the wet mixture gently.

Add the 50 g of cubed apple to the batter and mix gently.

Pour the batter into a greased 7-inch pan and level it out.

Lay the cinnamon-dusted apple slices on top like petals for decoration.

Preheat the oven to 330-340°F (165-170°C) and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when the cake is done.

Let the cake rest for 10 minutes in the pan before lifting it out.

While the cake is warm, brush it with a mixture of honey and a squeeze of lemon juice for a sweet finish.
