    Best Ever Baked Apple Cake

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    To bake this mouth-watering apple cake, you will need:

    • Fat for the mold
    • 150 g (2/3 cup) margarine or butter, softened
    • 120 g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) sugar
    • 1/2 package baking powder (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
    • 220 g (1 3/4 cups) flour
    • 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) apples, peeled and cored
    • 3 eggs
    • Butter for spreading
    • Cinnamon, to taste

    Nutrition Information

    This recipe serves approximately 12-14 people. The nutritional information per serving is as follows:

    • Calories: 220
    • Protein: 3g
    • Carbohydrates: 30g
    • Dietary Fiber: 2g

    • Fat: 10g
    • Saturated Fat: 5g
    • Cholesterol: 45mg
    • Sodium: 150mg

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Springform Pan

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 26cm (10-inch) springform pan with butter or margarine to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.

    2. Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together 150 g (2/3 cup) of softened margarine or butter and 120 g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) of sugar until light and fluffy. Add the 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

    Sift together 220 g (1 3/4 cups) of flour and 1/2 package (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) of baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth batter forms.

    3. Prepare the Apples

    Peel, core, and cut the 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) apples into large pieces, such as eighths, depending on their size. Fold the apple pieces into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

    4. Bake the Cake

    Pour the apple-batter mixture into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top as best as you can. The batter will be thick and the apples will make it look uneven, but that’s perfectly fine.

    Place the pan on the bottom rack of the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour.

    5. Add Butter and Cinnamon-Sugar

    After 45 minutes, open the oven and spread butter generously over the top of the cake. Sprinkle with plenty of sugar or a cinnamon-sugar mixture to your taste.

    6. Finish Baking

    Continue baking for the remaining 15 minutes. If the cake starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with a piece of baking paper to prevent burning.

    7. Cool and Serve

    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. This cake is best served warm, and it pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream.

    Tips for the Perfect Apple Cake

    • Use a variety of apples: Different apple varieties can add depth of flavor and texture to the cake.
    • Don’t worry about the batter-to-apple ratio: The batter serves mainly to hold the apples together, ensuring a juicy and flavorful cake.
    • Check for doneness: Insert a skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, the cake is done.

    Storing and Serving

    This apple cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate the cake for up to 5 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds before serving to enjoy the cake warm.

    How to Make Chicken Pot Pie

    It’s easier than you think to make a crowd-pleasing homemade chicken pot pie. You’ll find the step-by step recipe below, but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:

    Make the Filling

    Boil the cubed chicken with the carrots, peas, and celery for about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. Cook the onions in butter until they’re translucent, then stir in the flour and seasonings. Add the chicken broth and milk and simmer until the filling is thick.

    Fill and Bake the Pie

    Place the chicken-vegetable mixture in an unbaked pie crust. Pour the chicken broth mixture over it. Cover with the top crust, seal the edges, and cut slits in the top to allow the steam to escape. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

    How to Store Chicken Pot Pie

    Allow the pie to cool completely before storage. Wrap the cooled pie tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for three to five days. Reheat in the oven or in short bursts in the microwave.

    Ingredients
    For the Dough:
    450 g of flour
    1/2 cube of fresh yeast (20 g)
    2 tablespoons of flour
    1/2 teaspoon of sugar
    1 teaspoon of salt
    250 g of lukewarm water

    Additional Toppings:
    Grated mozzarella or parmesan
    A few olives
    Procedure
    Activating the Yeast
    Place half a cube of yeast in a bowl.
    Add half a teaspoon of sugar and pour 250 ml of lukewarm water.
    Add two tablespoons of flour and stir until all ingredients dissolve without lumps.
    Leave the dissolved yeast in a warm place for about 10 minutes until it activates and foams.
    Creating the Dough
    Measure and sift 450 g of flour, add a teaspoon of salt, and the activated yeast.
    Knead with a dough mixer until it becomes compact and separates from the bowl’s walls.
    If kneading by hand, mix until the flour is absorbed and continue until the dough is compact, smooth, and not too sticky.
    Shape into a ball, cover, and let it ferment in a warm, draft-free room for about half an hour or until doubled in volume.

    Rolling and Preparing
    • Spread the risen dough on a floured surface and roll it out evenly.
    • Transfer it to a piece of baking paper on a wide, shallow baking tray.
    • Cut it into cubes.
    Crafting the “Pesto”
    • Chop fresh basil and parsley, grate or squeeze garlic, and mix with 100 ml of olive oil.
    • Spread the mixture across all the incisions, then brush the entire surface with a silicone brush.
    Toppings and Baking
    • Sprinkle grated mozzarella, parmesan, or your preferred cheese along the cuts.
    • Place a sliced olive on top of each cube and press gently.
    • Optionally, sprinkle more mozzarella over the entire bread.
    • Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
