Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for French Apple Invisible Cake
  1. Start by peeling, coring, and thinly slicing your apples using a mandoline for evenness. Aim for slices about 1/8-inch thick.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and both granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt. Whisk until they're blended and free of clumps.
  4. Gently fold the prepared apple slices into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf or square baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
  6. Pour the apple-batter mixture into your prepared pan and optionally sprinkle sliced almonds on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
  7. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before lifting it out and dusting with powdered sugar.
