Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9" springform pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until fluffy; about 2 minutes.
  • Add eggs, rum extract and sour cream; blend until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Pour flour mixture into wet ingredients in 2 or 3 increments and blend well (but do not overmix) with a rubber spatula. (Batter will be very thick.)
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading as evenly as possible. (It will seem there is not enough batter, but it rises a lot during the baking process.)
  • Toss apples with brown sugar and cinnamon until coated. Arrange apples in a spiral design, overlapping from the center out.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (Do not overbake.)
  • Cool completely before removing from pan to a serving dish. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
  • Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
