Caramel Apple Almond Cake

Woohoo!!! I would say this is my most popular cake… I baked 2 big and 2 small cakes in a week, but yet, all sapu habis every time they came out from oven…

As I’ve promised to some friends, I’ll share the recipe here.

(Recipe taken from YumYum issue 69)

Apple caramel:

100g caster sugar

1tsp cinnamon powder (because I personally don’t like cinnamon, so, i didn’t put this in)

25g butter

2 green apples, cut into thick slices and removed core

Cake:

(A)

125g butter

4 eggs

150 caster sugar

(B)

120g dairy whipping cream

180g plain flour

45g high protein flour

45g ground almond (you can also get almond powder from bakery ingredient shop, but I still prefer grounding the fresh almond)

8g baking powder

Method:

1. Line a 8” round cake tin with greaseproof paper. Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.

2. Apple Caramel: Put caster sugar in a saucepan, stir over low heat until lightly brown. Add in butter, cinnamon powder, sliced apple and cook until soft. Remove from heat. Arrange apple slices and caramel sauce onto the prepared baking tin.

3. Cake: Whisk butter and caster sugar until soft. Add in eggs and whisk until fluffy. Add B and mix well.

4. Pour the batter into the baking tin. Bake in preheated over at 180 degree Celsius (depend on what kind of oven, because I’m using big oven, I actually put 150 degree Celsius) for 45-50 minutes.

5. Remove cake from oven and unmold carefully. Cut into pieces and serve warm.

My first attempt (might not look very pretty, but smell real good)

My 2nd attempt (I used smaller tins, and red apple, I think green apple make the cake tastier)

Where is my 3rd attempt? Hot cake from oven, was rushing to send to my ex-colleague as her birthday gift… so…
