Zutaten

3 large apples

1 grated, 1 diced, 1 thinly sliced for the top)

3 eggs

⅔ cup neutral sunflower oil

⅔ cup sugar

1 packet vanilla sugar

Anweisungen

Coarsely grate one apple without squeezing out the juice. Cut the second apple into small cubes and thinly slice the third for the top.

Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar for 2–3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.

Add the cream, then gradually pour in the sunflower oil while continuing to mix.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add to the wet mixture and gently mix until just combined. Add the lemon zest, if using.

Fold in the grated apple together with its juice, followed by the diced apple.

Pour the batter into a lined cake pan. Arrange the apple slices beautifully on top and sprinkle with sliced almonds, if using.

Bake at 170°C (top & bottom heat) for 50–60 minutes, until golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out without wet batter.

Let the cake cool in the pan, then cool completely before slicing. The inside will stay beautifully moist, soft and tender. 🍎❤️

Enjoy,
