Apple cream cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Cakes and Desserts
A true 'grandmother-style' cake, where the moisture of the apple keeps the buttery dough soft. The pectin content of the baked apple gels the fruit layer, while the whipped cream on top makes the richer base light. A simple mixed batter that is foolproof if you stick to the temperatures.

⚠️ Eggs

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Butter and flour the tin.

Tip: 'Coating' (butter+flour) prevents sticking.
2 ✓

Peel the apples, slice into thin wedges. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and a spoonful of sugar.

Tip: Sugar draws water from the apple, making it softer during baking.
3 ✓

Cream the soft butter with the remaining sugar, then add the eggs one by one, mixing continuously.

Tip: If the butter and egg are not the same temperature, the mixture may curdle (fat separates). If this happens, a spoonful of flour helps fix it.
4 ✓

Mix the flour and baking powder, then work into the butter mixture.

Tip: Mix only until the flour disappears. Overmixing makes the dough tough (gluten formation).
5 ✓

Pour the batter into the tin and press the apple slices into the top in a circular pattern.

Tip: The more densely you pack them, the moister it will be.
6 ✓

Bake for 30-35 minutes (skewer test). Leave to cool completely in the tin.

Tip: Hot cake is fragile; its structure firms up during cooling.
7 ✓

Whip the cold double cream until stiff with the icing sugar and pile onto the cooled cake.

Tip: Only put on completely cold cake, otherwise the cream will run off!

Recipe FAQ

Why did the apples sink to the bottom?
This is natural for this recipe, but if you want them in the middle, slice them thinner or toss them in a little flour.
