Apple Cream Cake is an ideal dessert for both small and large occasions, family gatherings, and holidays. If you're tired of classic desserts and want to impress your loved ones with something new and delicious, this recipe is perfect for you.
Apple Cream Cake
A delicate, crumbly cake layered with creamy filling and sweet apples is a tempting proposition. However, you need to start preparing it early, as the cake should rest in the fridge for 14 hours. While it is time-consuming, it's simple to make.
Sweet apples pair perfectly with the delicate cream, creating an exceptionally delicious combination. It's an exciting twist on classic apple pies, appealing to all fans of cakes with cream.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 3 oz margarine
- 5 tablespoons of warm milk
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking ammonia
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3 apples
- graham crackers (for decoration)
Cream filling:
- 4 cups of heavy cream
- 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla sugar
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
Preparation:
Step 1. Pour the milk into a small bowl, add the baking ammonia, and stir well. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar, then add melted margarine or butter and the ammonia mixture. Mix thoroughly, cover with cling film, and place in the refrigerator for 14 hours. This allows the ammonia to activate.
Step 2. After the resting period, transfer the ammonia mixture to a bowl. Add sifted all-purpose flour and baking powder, then knead the dough. If it sticks to your hands and work surface, sprinkle with more flour. Divide the dough into 5 parts.
Step 3. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Place one part of the dough at the bottom. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F for 20 minutes. Bake 2 more layers in the same way, resulting in a total of 3 layers.
Step 4. Grate the apples. Lay one part of the dough in the baking pan, cover with apples, and top with the last piece of dough (parts 4 and 5). Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.
Step 5. In the meantime, prepare the cream. Whip the chilled cream with vanilla and powdered sugar to a fluffy consistency.
Step 6. Layer the cooled cakes with the prepared cream. Decorate the cake with crushed graham crackers. Enjoy!
