🌿Ingredients

Sponge cake

4 eggs

1/4 cup sugar of your choice 50g

3/4 cup cake flour 150g

4 tbsp water

1 tsp baking powder

A pinch of salt

6-7 apples

1/2 cup sugar for caramel 100g

Whipped cream

10.5 oz Double cream 300ml

10.5 oz Crème fraîche whole fat 300ml

1/2 cup powder sugar 100g

1/2 cup Nutella 100g

Syrup

150ml water 5.27oz

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 a lemon peel

1/2 an orange peel

1 tsp vanilla extract

🌿Method

Preheat your oven to 180C/Mark 4 Gas/356F.

1. Melt 1/2 cup - 100g sugar over medium heat until golden in a 22cm/9 inch pan. Set aside and leave to chill.

2. Meanwhile peel your apples, remove their core and place them whole in the pan. Optional insert jam, chopped walnuts or sultanas inside the apples. Cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes until soft. In the meantime prepare the cake batter.

3. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat your whites with sugar and salt, until soft peaks form. Add the water gradually, then the yolks one by one until well incorporated.

4. Over the wet mixture, sift the flour and baking powder. Using a spatula or preferably a whisk, fold the flour so the mixture remains fluffy.

Pour the cake batter over the apples and cook for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes about clean.

5. In the meantime prepare the syrup. Simmer all ingredients over medium heat for 5 minutes. Use at room temperature.

6. Once cooked, leave the cake to cool in the pan for 3o min. Go all around the cake edge with a knife so it’s not sticked to the pan, then turn out onto a cake plate. Gently remove the pan and leave to chill completely.

7. Now prepare the whipped cream. Place the créme fraîche, double cream and powder sugar and mix on medium for 5 min or until stiff peaks form. Add the Nutella and mix again.

8. Sprinkle the cake with syrup evenly until moist enough. Cover with whipped cream and decorate.

Enjoy!
