Notes
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help them blend easily and give a smooth batter.
Please don't overmix the batter. Combine just until the mixture is smooth and no dry flour streaks are visible.
Try to cut apples into equal-sized pieces. This helps them bake evenly.
The apple fritter cake batter is supposed to be thick, but if it seems too thick and dryish, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time.
Please measure the ingredients using a kitchen scale. This ensures better and consistent results.
