“Luscious Apple Custard Cake: A Delicate Harmony of Flavors”
Ingredients
- 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- Layer the Apples:
- Arrange the sliced apples in the bottom of the prepared pan, creating a neat layer.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Prepare the Egg Whites:
- In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites in three additions to keep the mixture airy.
- Pour Over Apples:
- Carefully pour the batter over the apple slices in the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before unclipping the springform to remove the sides. Invert the cake onto a serving plate so the apples are on top. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
