Grandma’s old recipe

Coarsely grate the apples and immediately toss with the lemon juice. Cream the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt until fluffy. Add the eggs and mix. Mix the cornstarch and baking powder and stir in. Drain the grated apples into a sieve and add them to the batter along with the nuts. Line a 26 cm loaf pan with baking paper. Pour in the batter. Gas Mark 2, approx. 60-75 minutes. Cover with parchment paper halfway through, if necessary, to prevent it from over-browning. Let the cake cool and carefully remove it from the pan.
