Invisible Apple Cake
YumInvisible Apple Cake is the best autumn treat, easy to make and sooo tasty!
Our French friends avoid cinnamon, rum, and even vanilla while whipping this apple cake recipe since they believe one should fully enjoy apple flavours during September and October while these are freshly ripe. I agree with them to certain extent. But, we use cinnamon with apples every time, even to enjoy this gâteau invisible aux pommes.
It is invisible cake because apples should perfectly melt with soft pancakes alike batter. For that effect, you need to use mandolin slicer. I sliced our Jonagold apples using thin knife to make the process easier for my semi invalid state. As you can see my “thinly sliced” apples are visible but it does not influence the taste. Au contraire! Almond flour, dark rum and vanilla all make it very tasty.
10 x 5 inches loaf pan seems to be ideal for this batch since that shape keeps the moist and all the flavours perfectly.
Last but not least: we enjoy our slices while still a bit warm. If you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream aside it is really irresistible.
