Note: You may adjust the amount of vanilla extract according to taste. Also, a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving can add a nice touch!

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.

- Use a whisk or electric mixer to beat the eggs until light and fluffy, which will help the cake rise better.

- Gently fold the apple pieces into the batter to avoid over-mixing and keep the cake light.

- You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor if desired.

- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure and texture.
