Instructions
In a small skillet melt 2 tsp butter and place the apples in there. Keep the heat at medium-low. Add 1 Tbsp sugar and give the apples a mix. The apple slices will start releasing some water and slowly cook down. Make sure not to burn them. If the heat is a little too high, by all means, lower it. The entire process should take about 8 minutes.
Once the apples have cooked down some (5-6 minutes), add cinnamon and stir the apples gently. At this point, you want to be careful with the apple slices since they are a little fragile. Cook for another 2 minutes and turn the heat off.
While apples are cooking wash, dry, remove the green parts and quarter the strawberries.
In a medium bowl whisk eggs with 3/4 cup of sugar. Whisk until eggs turn pale yellow and mixture thicken a bit.
Add sour cream, melted butter (room temperature), milk and vanilla into the egg mixture. Give it a whisk on low speed until everything is incorporated well.
Add flour into the bowl, add salt and baking powder on top. On low speed of the mixer whisk the batter until flour is incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth.
Line a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Add half the batter into the pan, spread half of the apple slices and half of the strawberries on top of the batter.Pour over the rest of the batter on top of the layered fruits. Artfully and evenly spread the rest of the fruits on top of the batter. Well, doesn’t have to be super artful :) Whatever rocks your boat at that moment.
Bake the cake in the heated oven for about 45-50 minutes. If you are noticing that the top of the cake might be getting too dark for your liking, place an aluminum paper on top of the cake towards the end of the baking process. This will ensure that the cake is not burning, but the inside of it is getting an even bake.
Once you take the cake out of the oven, please let it cool for about 15-20 minutes before you decide to cut into it. Decorate with a little confectioners sugar and awe your guests or your own stomach :D
Notes
To save time, start prepping strawberries while apples a cooking.
