Of course, an apple and caramel cream cake is an excellent choice for a sweet snack or a refined dessert that will delight everyone. This recipe combines the soft texture of apples with the creaminess of a caramel cream, providing a pleasant contrast of flavors and textures. Let's see how we can prepare this cake step by step!

Ingredients:

- 7 tablespoons of sugar (for caramel)
- 4-5 apples (choose a tart variety like Granny Smith for a delicious contrast)
- 3 eggs
- 150 g of sugar (for the batter)
- 200 g of natural yogurt (can be replaced with sour cream)
- 150 g of flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Vanilla essence (optional)

Preparing the cake:

1. Start by making the caramel. In a saucepan, add the 7 tablespoons of sugar and place it over medium heat. Stir constantly to avoid burning. When the sugar melts and turns golden, carefully pour it onto the sides of a cake pan (28 cm in diameter). Let it cool and harden.

2. Meanwhile, wash the apples and grate them coarsely. It is recommended to leave the skin on, as it will add texture and extra nutrients. If you have a sweeter variety of apples, you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice to keep their flavor fresh and prevent oxidation.

3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with 150 g of sugar until frothy. Add the yogurt (or sour cream) and mix well. If desired, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence for a pleasant aroma.

4. In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring with a spatula or whisk until everything is homogeneous.

5. Fold the grated apples into the batter, being careful not to crush them. Pour the obtained mixture into the prepared pan with caramel.

6. Place the pan in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake the cake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

7. Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a plate. The caramel will melt and form a delicious sauce over the cake.

Serving suggestions:

The apple and caramel cream cake is served warm or at room temperature, often alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon on top for an extra flavor boost.

Possible variations:

For a touch of freshness, you can add some chopped walnuts or hazelnuts to the batter. You can also experiment with different types of apples or, in season, replace the apples with caramelized pears for an equally delicious version.
