It’s not like I don’t appreciate a good apple cake. And I still think David is an okay guy. But paired together, they have basically been too significantly this previous week. Sometimes I truly want David would just settle for great. He has practically baked and photographed this cake e-v-e-r-y damn day of the week. I know, apple cake each and every day sounds like an October dream. But when it is served along with continuous whining that: “It’s under baked”, “The apples don’t appear wonderful on this” or “It’s way also significantly cinnamon on top”, it variety of requires the pleasure out of eating it. And with 57+ other issues on our to-do-prior to-the-child-arrives checklist, I just couldn’t believe my eyes when he started baking a single far more cake final night.
But now he is finally pleased with it, and the photos. So right here it is: A Simple Apple Cake (overly tested like it was an advanced science task). Significantly even though, it is a truly very good cake. I can’t actually tell the difference from the one he did in the beginning of the week but I’m just content that we can last but not least move on to far more pressing issues. I’ll depart it to David to speak about the flavours. /Luise
Okay … obviously Luise has no idea what she is speaking about. The initial cake had way too a lot cinnamon on it and I hadn’t separated the eggs in the batter so it didn’t rise appropriately. The photographs looked terrible as well. So that’s that. What she also forgot to mention is that – thanks to me – we have loads of cakes in the freezer now, which in fact is 1 of the factors on that to-do checklist of hers. Ha!
Back to the cake. I have a lengthy background of not liking apple cake. I have learned to love it now but I do nonetheless think that numerous cakes are as well sweet, some are as well dry and other have too considerably apple pieces mixed with the batter. This 1 is inspired by a slice of apple cake that we tried at the farmer’s marketplace earlier this autumn. It was best. Moist, flavourful and with lots of cinnamon and large apple slices on top and a hint of grated apples in the batter. Ever since we attempted it, I have been experimenting with my personal versions of it. And as Luise so lovingly pointed out, it has taken a few attempts to get it right. We are utilizing 1 of our favourite flour mixtures to get a great texture. Oat and almond flour adds nuttiness and richness and rice flour keeps it light. I like to bake it in a tiny tray to get the appropriate height (approximately 2,5 cm / one inch), but it functions well as a thick cake in a classic round cake tin as effectively (just increase the baking time 5-ten min). Alternatively of serving it with the conventional vanilla custard, we prefer a ginger-spiced greek yogurt which adds a good tartness to balance the sweetness in the cake. /David
