Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 4 min.

In a bowl, whisk together 100 g flour, 80 g caster sugar, 10 g baking powder and 10 g Vanilla sugar.

Stage 2 - 4 min.

Add 3 eggs and 150 g milk, mixing again to obtain a very liquid batter (like pancake batter).

Stage 3 - 5 min.
Invisible apple cake
Place a cake tin on a baking sheet, and line the bottom and sides with baking paper (invisible cake is very sticky after baking).

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Stage 4 - 10 min.

Peel 6 apples, cut in half, then remove the core (an apple scoop is ideal for this).

Stage 5 - 10 min.

Stage 9 - 40 min.

Stage 10

Stage 11
Invisible apple cake
Serve on its own, or with custard for those with a sweet tooth.
Remarks
If you have any leftover batter at the end of filling the tin, I advise you not to pour it into the tin to maintain the "lots of fruit, little batter" aspect of the cake. Instead, fill ramekins for small cakes.

You can use other fruits such as pears and peaches in this recipe.
Keeping
A few days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
