Fruits are an excellent choice for any snack. You can eat them raw or make them into parts of a delicious dessert.
Today I found some beautiful apples at the grocery store, so I thought I would make a cake with them.
This recipe, that I am sharing today, is the best example of the love and friendship that there could be between my mother and her friend Patricia.
Every time my mother visited she, her friend would prepare this cake. While they sat in the kitchen talking, my mother's friend would prepare it in a short time, and it was part of a delicious snack with a nice cup of tea. Although they are both gone, as long as I prepare and enjoy this recipe, I know that they will remain present forever.
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup liquid milk
4 medium eggs
Yields approximately 10 servings
Place the butter in a bowl and beat until it has a creamy texture.
Gradually add the sugar until it is completely dissolved in the beaten butter.
Add the eggs one by one.
While you continue beating the mixture, add 1/2 cup of wheat flour. Remember to previously mix the flour with the baking powder.
Then add only half the amount of milk.
From this point on, alternate adding amounts of flour and milk. When you finish beating always finish with flour.
Grease and flour some molds and pour the mixture. Fill the molds only halfway, as the mixture will rise as it bakes.
Cut the apples into thin slices. Dip them in sugar and ground cinnamon.
Carefully place apple pieces in the mixture.
You can make mini cakes. Here it is important to place smaller pieces of apples.
Once you have placed the apple pieces, bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 180ºC.
Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before unmolding.
I love the grooves that are made on the cake once it is baked. They look cute!
If you like, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar when serving or just leave it without topping. The flavor of this cake is wonderful. Its texture is so soft that it looks like cotton.
What can you serve this apple cake with? You can serve it with tea or coffee, as long as you are in good company, its flavor will be even more delicious.
