  • 3.5 oz of all-purpose flour
  • 1 oz of potato starch
  • 0.1 oz of baking powder
  • 0.3 fl oz of canola oil

Apples in jelly:

                      
  • 4.4 lbs of apples (about 6-8 pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 17 fl oz of water
  • 3 lemon jellies

Whipped cream:

              
  • 25 fl oz of cold heavy cream (36%)
  • 2-3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
  • 0.35 oz of gelatin

How to prepare Alpine Apple Cake

Preparing the sponge cake: Before you start, take the eggs out of the fridge to reach room temperature. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Then, add the yolks one by one while mixing. Gently fold in the oil.

  •       Mixing the dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, potato starch, and baking powder. Slowly add to the beaten eggs, mixing on the lowest speed of the mixer.
  •       Baking the sponge cake: Line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper and pour the batter onto it. Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for 25 minutes. After baking, set aside to cool.
  •       Preparing the apples: Wash, peel, and dice the apples. Stew them in a pot with sugar and lemon juice. After a while, add water and, without heating, stir in the lemon jellies. Mix until the ingredients are combined. Set aside to cool.
  •       Creating the layers: When the apples cool down, pour them over the sponge cake and place it in the refrigerator to set the jelly.
  •       Preparing the whipped cream: Dissolve the gelatin in 1.4 fl oz of boiling water, then mix it with the whipped cream and powdered sugar. Once the jelly sets, spread the whipped cream over the apple layer.
  •       Cooling: Place the Alpine apple cake back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow everything to set well.
  •       Serving: Before serving, sprinkle the cake with grated chocolate or ground cinnamon to add a special touch.
  • Alpine apple cake is a perfect dessert for any occasion. Its preparation doesn’t require much time and effort, and the end result will surely impress all guests. Try this recipe and see for yourself how delicious homemade apple cake can be.
