If you know me, you know how adamant I was about not baking. Too much of an accurate science. I love cooking the way I want, can't follow a recipe if my life depended on it, and that is not great for baking.
But somehow a couple of months ago (well, I know how, I went to Costco and bought a ton of apples) I decided to make an apple cake that mom makes, and it worked. I was so excited, and in the meantime have made it several times, all great! and here's a neat thing: I actually experimented with it, and it still worked!
I made it last week for my students and they loved it, so I made it again in the same week. And now I can consider it my birthday cake (if there is any left by Saturday!)
Ingredients
4 Apples (recipe
has them pealed, I didn't, healthier with!) cubed to small pieces
I
mentioned experimenting: in one time I put the apples in the food processor, I thought
it was too moist, others liked it!
4 eggs
250 grams sugar
2 full tablespoons brown sugar
280 grams flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup oil
2 teaspoons cinnamon (I love cinnamon so I put
double!)
A sprinkle of Salt
(1 orange)
Preparation
1. Mix the apples with the brown sugar
o I understand that 4 apples is not an accurate
measure – but it worked with various sized apples, it comes out a bit
different, as you could see!
2. Mix the eggs and sugar
o I’m obsessed with egg smell so I added an orange
zest
3. Add the rest of the ingredients
o Did I mention experimenting? So I thought a
whole cup of oil was a lot, so I substituted a quarter of that with the orange juice
from the orange. It worked!
4. Bake in a preheated oven (180 c- 350f) for about
45 minutes
5. To check if it is baked, put a tooth pick
through in the center, if it comes out dry, your cake is ready!
And it's been a great breakfast! with some homemade yogurt (http://leenaskitchens.blogspot.com/2013/09/yogurt-labaneh-and-kindness.html)! yum!
