Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C with heat from above and below.
  • In a large bowl, mix the sugar with the eggs well until the mixture is homogeneous.
  • Add the melted butter, sifted flour, baking powder, and almond flour, stirring gently until everything is well integrated.
  • Finally, incorporate the milk and mix until you obtain a smooth and lump-free batter.
  • Grease a mold with butter or oil and lightly flour it. Pour the batter into it evenly.
  • Peel and quarter the apples. Arrange them evenly over the dough, pressing them slightly in.
  • Bake at 180°C for 20 minutes, until it starts to turn golden.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter for the glaze in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Add the sugar and let it dissolve completely, stirring constantly.
  • Remove the cake from the oven, ensuring it is partially baked.
  • Pour the glaze evenly over the top of the cake and return it to the oven.
  • Bake for an additional 15 minutes at 180°C. If using a Ø15 cm mold, extend the baking time to 25-30 minutes until the cake is well done.
  • Allow to cool completely before unmolding.
  • This cake is even better if left to rest in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • Use firm apples, such as Golden or Granny Smith, to ensure the pieces remain intact during cooking and do not turn into a puree.
  • When caramelizing the apples, make sure the heat is at a medium temperature and stir constantly to prevent the sugar from burning, thus achieving caramel with good color and flavor.
  • After preparing the cake, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before unmolding it, so the caramel slightly solidifies and the cake maintains its shape.
