Apple and Raspberry Jam Cake

Ingredients:

    • Apples: 3 medium-sized, peeled and grated
    • Sugar (for apples): 2 tbsp (30 g)
    • Lemon juice: from 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
    • Eggs: 2 large
    • Sugar (for batter): ½ cup (100 g)
    • Vanilla sugar: 1 tbsp (8 g)
    • Butter: ½ cup (120 ml), melted
    • Sour cream: ½ cup (120 g)
    • Flour: 1¾ cups (220 g)
    • Baking powder: 2 tsp (12 g)
    • Raspberry jam: 3 tbsp (50 g)

Directions:

    • Prepare the Apples:
      Peel and grate the apples. In a pan, combine with 2 tbsp sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until softened, then set aside to cool.
    • Mix the Batter:
      In a bowl, whisk the eggs, ½ cup sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and frothy. Add the melted butter and sour cream, and mix thoroughly.
    • Combine Dry Ingredients:
      Sift the flour and mix with the baking powder. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until combined.
  • Layer the Cake:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Pour half of the batter into a greased baking dish, spread the cooled apple mixture on top, dot with raspberry jam, and pour the remaining batter over it.
  • Bake:
    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

    • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.
  • Pair with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of honey.

Cooking Tips:

    • Ensure the apples are fully cooled before layering them into the batter to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
    • Use a mixture of tart and sweet apples for more complex flavors.
