Apple poured cake

Caramel Apple Cake – A Quick and Tasty Dessert Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 50-60 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes Number of servings: 12 Welcome to the delicious world of cakes! Today, I will present to you a captivating recipe for a caramel apple cake, inspired by traditional dessert recipes. This dish is perfect for treating family or friends, with a rich taste and irresistible aroma. The caramelized apples combine perfectly with the fluffy layers, resulting in a dessert that will win you over from the first bite. Let's get started! Ingredients - 4 eggs - 18 tablespoons of sugar (divided) - 18 tablespoons of oil - 18 tablespoons of milk - 24 tablespoons of flour - 2 teaspoons of baking powder (optional) - 1.5 kg of apples (about 4-5 large apples) - Ground cinnamon (to taste) Ingredient Details The apples are the star ingredient of this cake. Choose sweet apples with a hint of acidity to achieve a delicious contrast between sweet and sour. Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples are excellent choices. The sugar will add sweetness, while the cinnamon will provide a warm and comforting aroma. For the oil, you can use sunflower or canola oil for a lighter cake. Step-by-Step Preparation 1. Preparing the apples: Start by peeling the apples and grating them. Then, in a pan, add the grated apples along with 5-6 tablespoons of sugar. Sauté the apples over medium heat, stirring constantly, until their juice reduces and they become slightly caramelized. This process will enhance the flavor of the apples. Finally, add cinnamon to taste and let them cool slightly. 2. Preparing the first layer: In a large bowl, mix the 4 eggs with 9 tablespoons of sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. Add the oil in a thin stream while continuing to mix. Then, gradually incorporate the milk (9 tablespoons) and flour (12 tablespoons) mixed with the baking powder. Mix gently until you obtain a homogeneous mixture, but do not overmix to avoid toughening the batter. 3. Baking the first layer: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the mixture for the first layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until it is lightly browned and passes the toothpick test. 4. Adding the apples: Once the first layer is ready, remove the tray from the oven and evenly distribute the sautéed apples over the baked layer. Make sure the apples are evenly spread for a uniform cake. 5. Preparing the second layer: Use the same mixture as for the first layer. Mix the 4 eggs again with 9 tablespoons of sugar, 9 tablespoons of oil, 9 tablespoons of milk, and 12 tablespoons of flour. You can omit the baking powder, as the cake will be just as tasty and fluffy. Pour this batter over the caramelized apples in the tray. 6. Final baking: Place the tray back in the oven and bake the cake for 40-45 minutes. Check if it is baked by inserting a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. 7. Cooling and serving: After the cake is baked, let it cool in the tray for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a serving plate. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant appearance and an extra touch of sweetness. Serving Suggestions and Variations This caramel apple cake is delicious served plain, but you can enhance it with a dollop of sour cream or vanilla ice cream for a creamy contrast. Additionally, add some toasted nuts or almonds for extra texture. If you want to experiment with flavors, you can replace the apples with pears or apricots, and the cinnamon can be substituted with vanilla for an even more refined taste. Nutritional Benefits This cake is not only delicious but also nutritious! Apples are rich in fiber and vitamin C, contributing to a healthy diet. Additionally, the eggs provide essential proteins, and the oil adds healthy fatty acids. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use other fruits? Yes, you can experiment with other seasonal fruits, such as pears, peaches, or cherries. 2. What if I don't have baking powder? Baking powder is optional; the cake will be just as tasty without it. 3. How long does the cake last? The cake keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container. 4. Can it be frozen? Yes, you can freeze the cake, but I recommend doing it without glazing it. You can wrap it in plastic wrap and thaw it a day before serving. This caramel apple cake is more than just a dessert; it is an opportunity to gather family around the table and create sweet memories. So, get your hands on the ingredients and enjoy the cooking process! Enjoy your meal!
