The poured apple cake is a quick and delicious dessert, perfect for moments when you need something sweet but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen. This simple recipe combines the warm flavor of caramelized apples with a fluffy and easy-to-make batter. Let's get started!
Total preparation time: 1 hour
Baking time: 40-45 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients for the batter:
- 3 eggs
- 13 tablespoons of sugar
- 13 tablespoons of oil
- 13 tablespoons of milk
- 16 tablespoons of flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
Ingredients for the filling:
- 1 kg of apples (about 5-6 medium apples)
- 6 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste, depending on the sweetness of the apples)
- 100 g margarine (or butter, for a richer taste)
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon (for an intense flavor)
Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure the apples are fresh and juicy, preferably from sweet-tart varieties, such as Golden or Granny Smith. If you want to add a twist, you can try including some chopped nuts or raisins in the filling for extra texture.
Step 2: Preparing the batter
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer or a whisk. Continue mixing until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes frothy. Then, gradually add the sugar and mix until it completely dissolves. Incorporate the oil and mix well.
In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Add this mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with the milk. It is important that the resulting batter is thicker than pancake batter, having a consistency that flows slowly from a spoon.
Step 3: Preparing the apples
Peel the apples and grate them. Place them in a pan along with the sugar, margarine, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the apples soften and the juice evaporates, leaving them caramelized and fragrant.
Step 4: Baking the cake
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a baking tray (approximately 30x40 cm) by greasing it with butter or margarine and dusting it with flour. Pour half of the batter into the tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, until it is just lightly browned.
Remove the tray from the oven and carefully add the cooked apples on top of the base. Then, pour the remaining batter, leveling it gently with a spoon. Return the tray to the oven and bake for 30 minutes on low heat, until the cake is well baked and golden.
Step 5: Serving the cake
Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely in the tray. Only then can you cut it into squares. Serve it dusted with sugar for an elegant look, and enjoy the delicious combination of caramelized apples and fluffy batter.
Variations and practical tips:
For an extra flavor boost, you can add vanilla essence to the batter or chopped nuts to the apple mixture. If you prefer a healthier option, replace some of the oil with applesauce. This cake is perfect to be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a caramel sauce for a decadent dessert.
Enjoy this quick and simple dessert that is sure to impress family and friends!
