Apple Cream Cake
Delicate, crumbly cake layered with a creamy filling and sweet apples is a proposition hard to refuse. However, you need to start preparing it early because the cake should rest in the fridge for about 14 hours. It's a time-consuming cake but simple to make.
Sweet apples pair perfectly with the delicate cream, creating a truly delicious combination. It's an interesting variation from classic apple pies, which will appeal to all fans of cakes with cream.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 85 grams of margarine
- 5 tablespoons of warm milk
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking ammonia
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3 apples
- graham crackers (for decoration)
Cream filling:
- 4 cups of heavy cream
- 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla sugar
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
Preparation:
Step 1. Pour the milk into a small bowl, add baking ammonia, and stir well. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar, add melted margarine or butter, and the ammonia mixture. Mix thoroughly, cover with cling film, and place in the refrigerator for about 14 hours. This allows the ammonia to start working.
Step 2. After this time, transfer the ammonia mixture to a bowl. Add sifted all-purpose flour and baking powder, then knead the dough. If it sticks to your hands and the work surface, sprinkle with more flour. Divide into 5 parts.
Step 3. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Lay one part of the dough at the bottom. Place in an oven preheated to 175°C (350°F) for 20 minutes. Bake 2 more layers in the same way. This will result in a total of 3 layers.
Step 4. Grate the apples. Lay one part of the dough in the baking pan, cover it with apples, and top with the last piece of dough (parts 4 and 5). Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 40 minutes.
Step 5. In the meantime, prepare the cream. Whip the chilled cream together with the vanilla sugar and powdered sugar until you achieve a fluffy consistency.
Step 6. Layer the cooled cakes with the prepared cream. Decorate the cake with crushed graham crackers. Enjoy!
