2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Coat bottom and side of a 9-inch round cake pan with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle bottom with brown sugar. Arrange the apple slices in prepared pan in two concentric circles (you might not use all of them). My niece will arrange it.

3. In a medium bowl, sieve the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon....mix together and keep it aside.

4. With an whisk, beat remaining 8 tablespoons butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla essence; beat until incorporated.
