For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of vegetable oil. A sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans adds a delightful crunch. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. This prevents sticking and ensures easy removal. (5 minutes)

Add the egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until just smooth, being careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)
04
Step

Gently fold in the beaten egg whites in two additions, until just incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites. (5 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. (1 minute)

Arrange the apple slices attractively atop the batter in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping. (5 minutes)

In a small bowl, combine the 2 teaspoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the apple slices. (2 minutes)
