ÄPPLEKAKA | Swedish Apple Cake

This was a very Swedish cake and then I added my American touch to it. The original recipe did not have any spices but, honestly, it was kinda boring to me. I love fall, like basic b**** level love fall, and like its apples?? Apples just cry out for warm spices. So I added a whole bunch. Make this cake with or without them, just make sure you eat this surrounded by candles while listening to Taylor Swift. 2 eggs 150g sugar 120g flour 1 tsp baking powder 100g melted butter 2 apples 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp cloves ½ tsp ginger 1 tsp cardamom 1 tsp salt First things first, preheat your oven to 375F/180C. Take a springform pan and generously butter it. Really get in the corner and up the sides. Begin by cracking then eggs into the bowl of your stand mixer. Add in the sugar and whip on high until very light and fluffy. While that’s whipping work on your apples. Add half a lemon to some cold water. Begin peeling the apples and put them in the acidulated water as you go. Cut them into chunks, and put them back into the lemon water so they don’t brown. Put it to the side. Once your egg and sugar mixture is light and fluffy, sift the dries directly into the bowl. Gently fold until there are no longer any streaks of flour. Stream in the melted butter and again fold in gently. Pour the batter into the prepared springform. Pat your apple slices dry and begin to press them into the batter. I like to make a little pattern but the cake is going to puff up around it and you won’t see many of the slices so the pattern isn’t all that important. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Once out of the oven run a small knife or offset around the edge and then release the sides. Let cool and then dust with powdered sugar. Tiktok: cecilia.tolone Instagram: cecilia.tolone
