Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 22x12x7 cm (9x5x3 inch) loaf pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine *sugar*, *milk*, *eggs*, *melted butter*, *baking powder*, *maple syrup* (if using), *salt*, and *vanilla paste*. Mix until the mixture is smooth.
Add the *flour* and mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick but smooth.
Step 3
Peel the apples and slice them thinly using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline to achieve the thinnest slices possible. The thinner the better to get the 'invisible' effect.
Step 4
Add the *apple slices* to the batter and gently fold them until all slices are evenly coated. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared pan, ensuring even apple distribution.
Sprinkle with *almond flakes* if desired. Place the pan in the oven and reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F). Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 98°C (208°F).
Step 5
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven. Let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift it out. Place on a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Servings
Serving this Invisible Apple Cake is like unveiling a culinary masterpiece! 🎂 Imagine a cozy afternoon with a light drizzle of honey over a warm slice, coupled with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 🍦 The subtle spices of cinnamon and nutmeg play beautifully with the sweetness, making every bite a delightful adventure.
_Feeling a bit more indulgent?_ Pair it with a luxurious caramel sauce and a sprinkle of toasted almond flakes for that added crunch and flavor. If you're hosting a gathering, serve this cake alongside a fresh cup of brewed coffee, or better yet, a steaming latte for a delightful contrast in flavors. ☕️
**Remember**, presentation matters! Garnish with thin apple slices arranged in a fan pattern atop the cake, and dust a touch of powdered sugar for that picture-perfect finish. Every slice reveals the 'invisible' layers, sure to captivate both the eyes and the taste buds of your guests.
Equipment

Variations
Gluten-Free Version: 🌾🚫 Simply swap the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free baking mix to make this recipe gluten-friendly without compromising on texture or flavor.
Vegan Twist: 🌱✨ Replace the eggs with flax seeds (1 tablespoon of flax seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg) and use almond milk instead of regular milk. Additionally, choose coconut oil or vegan butter in place of melted butter. With these simple swaps, the invisible apple cake is both tasty and compassionate.
Faq
- What's the secret to perfectly sliced apples?
A peeler or a mandoline slicer ensures evenly thin apple slices that bake evenly, creating those stunning invisible layers.
- Can I use any other fruits in this recipe?
Absolutely! Pears make a delightful alternative, providing a similar texture and flavor profile.
- How do I know if the cake is cooked through?
A thermometer is your best friend here! Ensure the internal temperature hits 98°C for the ideal bake.
- Is it okay to prepare the batter in advance?
While fresh is best for this recipe, you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance. Just be sure to keep it chilled to prevent any oxidation, especially with the apples.
- Can I freeze the Invisible Apple Cake?
Yes, you can! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before serving or gently reheat it in the oven.
- How can I make the cake look more visually appealing?
Top with almond flakes before baking or a sprinkle of powdered sugar after cooling to give it that simple yet elegant finish.
