Butter 180 gm

Method
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and for 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed, add sugar until light and fluffy.
With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla, and mix until the batter is smooth. Add lemon zest at the end
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until combined. Remove the mixer attachment and add the cut apple chunks, mix well.
Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Top with the sliced apples, and then sprinkle the rest of the sugar. Dust the cinnamon on top of the batter.
Bake the cake for 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool off for 30 minutes and sprinkle the icing sugar on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
