Dutch or Norwegian apple cake




Dutch or Norwegian apple cake
Author: Azelia's Kitchen

Preheat oven to 180˚C fan. Brush the baking dish with butter and dust with flour OR line the bottom of the dish.
Ingredients
·         2 large eggs
·         200g sugar - granulated or superfine. (Add another 25g of sugar if liking sweeter)
·         100g butter
·         150g (or ml) full fat milk or single cream
·         180g plain flour
·         2 teaspoons of baking powder ** see note
·         3 apples
·         1 lemon, juiced
·         1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon mixed together to sprinkle on top, optional.
Instructions
1.   Slice the apples as thinly as you can and put them straight into the lemon juice to stop discolouration.
2.   Whisk the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk on medium speed until the mixture is very pale, thick and creamy, it will take between 7-10 minutes. You know it's ready when dropping some of the mixture from a height it falls down in a thick stream as photo above shows.
3.   Bring the milk near boiling point with the butter, microwave it. Put the hot mixture in a jug to make the pouring in easier.
4.   While whisking the eggs and sugar mixture pour in the hot milk/butter liquid slowly but constantly and keep whisking until all the liquid has been incorporated.
5.   Sieve the flour and baking powder over the batter and using the electric whisk blend it in for few seconds, 20-30 seconds until it's a smooth batter again. Don't over-beat the flour as it will develop the gluten in it too much.
6.   Pour the cake batter into the baking dish and layer the slices of apple overlapping each other on top. Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon mixture and bake for 25 minutes. Check with toothpick after 20 minutes if your oven is usually quick.

Note: I baked it in a Pyrex
 pan it needed from 30 - 40 minutes
