Carinas äppelkaka

This apple cake is made in a different way, namely from juicy applesauce. The cake is fantastic and very easy to bake.

1 cake = 10 pieces

1 ¾ oz soft butter or margarine

1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
1 ¾ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
3 tablespoons cream, 15% fat
grated zest from 1 lemon

Filling:

2/3 cup applesauce
2 apples
1/3 cup sugar
¾ cup wholemeal flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2½ oz butter or margarine
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Heat the oven to 350F. Grease a springform pan, diameter approx 9 inches.

Mix fat, brown sugar, vanilla sugar, flour, baking powder, egg, cream and lemon zest. Blend well. Pour the batter in the baking pan and smoothen the surface out with the back of a wet spoon. Spread the applesauce on top of the cake batter. Core and slice the apples and put them on top of the applesauce.

Blend sugar, wholemeal flour and cinnamon well. Add the fat and pinch the crumble dough together so that the fat goes  well into the flour. Add lemon juice and sprinkle the crumble on top of the sliced apples. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes until the cake is golden.

Serve hot or cold with some vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce.

Enjoy!
