   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mascarpone mixture, mixing gently until smooth. Avoid overmixing.
5. Add the Apples:
   • Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
6. Bake the Cake:
   • Grease and flour a round cake pan (22–24 cm in diameter) or line it with parchment paper.
   • Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface.
   • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Finishing Touches:
   • Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
   • Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar for decoration before serving.
