Apple Cake with Syrup and Cider

When finished, let the cake cool down and pour the thick syrup over the cake and top it off with whipped cream.

INGREDIENTS:

List of ingredients

1 ½ kg apples (Gråsten, Fillipa or Guldborg)

1 dl apple sauce

½ dl cider

½ vanilla pod

1 tbs apple blossom honey

Dough:

375 g hazelnuts

375 g sugar

225 g butter

2 eggs

2 egg whites

75 g flour

PREPARATION:

• Wash the apples, peel and core them. Cut into smaller pieces. Dip them in the apple sauce, cider, vanilla and sugar and let them soak 10-15 minutes.

• Finely chop the hazelnuts and mix them with butter and sugar until creamy.

• Add the eggs and the egg whites and finally the flour. The dough should be rather thin and batter-like. Pour it into a greased cake pan. Let the apple pieces drip dry (through a cloth) and distribute them onto the dough.

• Bake the apple cake at 180°C for 45-50 minutes. If the cake quickly browns on top, cover it with aluminum foil for the rest of the baking period. When finished, let cool.

• Pour the liquid from the apples into a pot, boil and reduce it to a thick syrup. Pour the syrup over the cake. Top the cake with lightly whipped cream.
