It combines the fluffy texture of the base with the unmistakable flavor of caramelized apples and the delicacy of the cream, making it a popular choice for festive meals or gatherings with loved ones. This simple recipe is a reinterpretation of traditional desserts, featuring a modern twist with the addition of whipped cream and grated chocolate. Preparation method 1. Preparing the base: - Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. - In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar using a mixer until they become a light and fluffy mixture. This step is essential for obtaining an airy base. - Add the flour mixed with the baking powder and gently mix with a spatula to avoid losing air from the mixture. - In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add them over the yolk mixture, gently mixing until well combined. - Pour the mixture into a square baking pan (20x20 cm) lined with parchment paper and bake for about 30 minutes. You can check if it's baked by using a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the base is ready. - After baking, let the base cool completely. 2. Preparing the apple filling: - Peel the apples and grate them using a large grater. It is important to drain them well to avoid a too moist base. - In a pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the grated apples, sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon. Cook the mixture over low heat for 15-20 minutes until the apples become soft and caramelize slightly. Let the filling cool. 3. Preparing the vanilla cream: - In a saucepan, heat 500 ml of milk and add the 4 tablespoons of sugar. - When the milk starts to boil, add the packet of vanilla pudding, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Follow the instructions on the package to obtain a smooth cream. - After the pudding has thickened, let it cool slightly, then beat it with a mixer to give it an airy texture. 4. Preparing the whipped cream: - In a cold bowl, beat the liquid cream with sugar to taste and the stabilizer packet until you get a firm and fluffy whipped cream. Keep the whipped cream cold until use. 5. Assembling the cake: - Cut the cooled base into two equal parts. Prepare a syrup from water, sugar, vanilla, and rum essence (to taste) and soak each layer of the base well. - Add the apple filling on the first layer of the base, followed by the vanilla cream. Cover with the second layer of base and finish with whipped cream. - Decorate the cake with grated chocolate and let it chill in the fridge for a few hours, ideally overnight, for the flavors to develop. Serving suggestions This cake is served cold, and a slice can be accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a caramel sauce for extra flavor. It also pairs perfectly with a cup of aromatic tea or coffee. Calories and nutritional benefits A serving of this cake contains approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the serving size and the amount of sugar added. Apples provide a good supply of vitamins (especially vitamin C) and fiber, while the vanilla cream and whipped cream offer a dose of calcium and protein. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use other fruits instead of apples? - Yes, you can experiment with peaches, cherries, or plums, adjusting the cooking time of the filling to achieve an optimal texture. 2. How can I make the cake less sweet? - You can reduce the amount of sugar in the filling and the vanilla cream. Use more tart fruits for a pleasant contrast. 3. Can the cake be frozen? - Yes, the cake can be frozen, but I recommend doing it without the whipped cream. Add the whipped cream only before serving to maintain its airy texture. This apple cake with cream and whipped cream is a true indulgence for the senses. So, put on your apron and unleash your creativity in the kitchen!
