To prepare a delicious apple cake, the first essential step is to take care of the dough. In a generous bowl, we mix 300 grams of margarine (or butter) with 200 grams of sugar until we obtain a creamy and homogeneous mixture. This is the perfect base for our cake. Then, we add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they integrate perfectly into the mixture. We continue by incorporating 400 grams of flour, 100 grams of ground walnuts (or ground almonds, depending on preferences), and a teaspoon of cinnamon. These ingredients will not only add flavor but also a pleasant texture to the dough. Don't worry if you get a softer dough; this is normal and will contribute to the cake's juiciness.
Our preparation will be baked in a tray measuring 40 cm in length and 28 cm in width, which we have prepared in advance with aluminum foil or baking paper. Using a hand moistened with cold water, we spread the dough in the tray, making sure to form a small border on the edges, which will help retain moisture and flavors. Now, it's time to take care of the apples. We peel the apples, remove the cores, and slice them thinly, obtaining tender slices that will provide a pleasant contrast with the dough.
We arrange these apple slices evenly over the dough, ensuring that we cover the entire surface. In a separate bowl, we beat the four eggs with a fork and add 8 tablespoons of sugar. We mix well until the sugar dissolves, then add the vanilla essence, which will enhance the cake's aroma. Finally, we pour in the 200 ml of milk, mixing again to obtain a homogeneous composition. This cream is carefully poured over the apples arranged on the dough.
For an extra flavor boost, we sprinkle the two packets of vanilla sugar on top, which will enrich the final taste. With the oven already preheated, we place the tray inside and let the cake bake for about 40 minutes on low heat. It is important to ensure that the cake is well-baked before removing it, so we can do the toothpick test to check if the dough is perfect.
Once the cake is ready, we take it out of the oven and let it cool in the tray, allowing the flavors to blend and become even more intense. Only after it has completely cooled can we cut it into portions and enjoy this delight full of apple and cinnamon flavors. It is a perfect cake for a relaxing afternoon or to be served on a special occasion. Enjoy your meal!
