Ingredients

FOR THE CAKE

  • 2 big Golden apples
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup of butter
  • ½ cup of flour
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup milk

FOR THE CARAMEL

  • 5 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoons Water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C.
  • Let's start by preparing the cake. In a bowl, mix the sugar and the eggs until they become white. Add the flour. Mix well, it must be homogeneous. Add the melted butter. Mix again. Finally add the vanilla sugar and the yeast. Mix again.
  • Peel the apples and cut them into quarters. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent them from turning black.
  • Prepare the caramel quickly. Put the 150g of sugar in a saucepan. Wait until the sugar starts to melt, it will start to caramelize. At this point turn the caramel continuously. As soon as it starts to take a nice caramel color, remove the pan from the heat. If there are still lumps of sugar, continue to turn off the heat and return to the heat. Be careful not to let the caramel heat up too long as it will be too bitter.
  • Once the caramel is ready, quickly pour it into your buttered cake pan before it hardens. Arrange the apples in a rosette on top and pour in the cake mixture.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes. Be careful, the cake may cook quickly. If so, lower the oven's thermostat. Insert a knife blade to check the cooking.

Notes

Apples: Use your favorite variety of apples. I typically use Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp.
