Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 eggs
200 g sugar
200 g butter
1 vanilla bean
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp baking powder (with top)
200 g all-pourpose flour
2 apples
1 dl raisins (can be omitted)
2 apples
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 dl almond flakes (can be omitted)

Steps:

  • Turn on the oven and heat it up to 180 degrees Celcius normal heat.
  • Put eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat until light, white and fluffy. Here it is an advantage with an electric whisk or a mixer.
  • Split the vanilla bean, scrape out the grains, mix it with a little sugar and beat it together with the egg mixture and the vanilla essence.
  • Put flour and baking powder in a sieve and sift it into the egg mixture, mix it again until it is a smooth dough.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and allow it to cool slightly. Then slowly whisk it into the dough.
  • Peel the apples and cut them into pieces approx. 1 × 1 cm. Put the apple pieces and raisins in the dough and mix it all together.
  • Pour the dough into a greased springform pan of approx. 22 cm in diameter.
  • Then the cake must be topped. Peel the last apples and cut them into thin slices. Put them on top, and press them a little into the dough.
  • Finish by sprinkling cinnamon and sugar as well as almond flakes over the cake.
  • Bake the cake for approx. 40 min in the preheated oven. Here it is important to check the cake along the way, otherwise, there is a risk that it will become dry. If there is still dough on the knife when you stick it in the cake, it should have a little more time in the oven. Take it out when it is done.
  • Let the cake cool a bit and serve it with sour cream or vanilla ice cream or just as it is.

DANISH APPLE CAKE



Danish Apple Cake image

A former neighbor of mine & I were trying out recipes from some newly acquired military community cookbooks we had "won" together on Ebay. My neighbor found this recipe in one called "Recipes on Parade:Desserts" and since we both had a copy of the cookbook, we both tried it out - and loved the recipe. You would serve this scooped into a bowl, garnished with a little shredded cheddar and whipped cream, or as my neighbor preferred, some vanilla ice cream. This tastes best warm. This is called a "cake" but is not a typical slicing cake.
