Äppel- och vaniljkaka
Use the delicious apples of the autumn and make
equally delicious wheat cakes. Except for the apples they contain almonds and
custard under the braids.
2 cakes, approx 24 pieces
3½ oz butter or margarine
1 ¾ cups milk1 ¾ oz fresh yeast
1/3 cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
Filling:
6 to 8 apples1/3 cup almonds
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups custard, store-bought or home-made
For brushing:
beaten eggMelt the fat and blend in the milk. Heat to 37°C, body heat. Crumble the yeast in a mixing bowl and dissolve it in some of the liquid. Add remaining liquid, sugar and salt plus the flour, little by little. Work the dough until it releases the bowl and leave to prove for 30 minutes.
Knead the dough until smooth on a floured surface
and divide in two. Roll out each part to a round cake, diameter 14 to 16
inches. Transfer the cakes to two round, well-greased baking pans and let about
4 inches hang out over the edges.
Peel, core and cut the apples in wedges. Split the
almonds. Put apple wedges and almonds in the bottom, sprinkle with sugar and
add vanilla crème in dabs.
Now it’s time to use the dough that’s hanging
outside the baking pans. Cut a few broad strips in it, braid these together and
put them over the filling. Leave to prove for about 30 minutes, brush with
beaten egg and bake in the lower part of the oven at 350 to 390F for about 30 minutes. Cover with a cloth and allow to cool on a rack.
Enjoy!
