Invisible Apple Cake
Why an Invisible Apple Cake you ask? The magic trick comes from the very thinly sliced apples coated with a minimal amount of batter. When the cake is sliced the apple are practically invisible.

- 5-6 cooking apples peeled and cored
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp butter melted
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- dash of nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- sliced almonds
- icing sugar
Instructions
- Place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan and grease sides and paper lightly. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- With a stand or electric mixer, beat the eggs and the sugar for about 3 minutes or until fluffy. Add the melted butter, the milk and vanilla, and mix till combined.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until just combined.
- Cut the apples in quarters and with a mandolin slice each piece into 1/8 in (3 mm) thick slices. Put the apple slices into the bowl with the batter and very gently stir to coat them with a silicone spatula, ensuring each slice is coated but without breaking the apple slice.
