Apple cloud cake is a lightly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, tender and less-guilty dessert that's zero added fat, relatively low in sugar, but big on taste. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time when sweet craving hits. Its soft texture and the taste of fresh apples make it irresistible. I have used a 23cm square baking tray, but you certainly can use a round springform pan.
Apple Cloud Cake
adapted from Cook
|
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm square or round pan.
- Toss the apples with the lemon juice, cinnamon and cardamom, and set aside.
- Put the lemon zest, whole eggs and sugar (keeping back ½ tablespoon of sugar for the top) in a large bowl and whisk together until creamy and thick enough to leave a trail when the whisk is lifted out. Sift in the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt and fold through, followed by the milk.
- In a separate bowl, with clean whisks, beat the egg whites to soft peaks, then fold through the batter until smooth. Gently mix in about two-thirds of the sliced apples, then pour into the prepared cake tin. Scatter the rest of the apples on top and sprinkle with the reserved sugar.
- Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean from the centre. Leave in the tin for 10-15 minutes before carefully unmoulding and transferring to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or cooled, dusted with icing sugar.

Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cake, Angie! It looks so light and delicate – “cloud cake” seems like the perfect name for it.
ReplyDeleteIt is aptly named because it is heavenly.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds and looks fantastic. I'm hoping to go apple picking soon and I'll have to try this. Thanks for the mystery series recommendation too Angie.
ReplyDeleteIt is apple season here and I cannot wait to try this. It is nice that it is low sugar -- but you had me wondering about zero fat added... I was pondering how you did this without milk for the custard! Then I understood. "Added fat" was the important phrase.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. I think apple is the fruit of autumn. I might try this one.
ReplyDeleteI know this cake and it's verry delicious. In Frence it's called : invisible with apples.
ReplyDeletebellissima torta, molto golosa!
