I’ve been planning on this cake for at least a month.
I saw it here , on America’s Test Kitchen, and wanted it.
They eat the cake right in front of you and my mouth watered.
When we went apple picking I was thinking of this cake.
On my son’s birthday I was thinking of this cake.
And today I made it!
It is easy to make- has a custard layer, an apple layer and a light cake layer. And-
it is as good as I hoped it would be!
So, “happy birthday!” if you have an October birthday- I’m celebrating with this cake!
I raise my cup of deep plum cinnamon tea and salute Autumn, Apples, and Appetites
everywhere. The recipe is here – and they have some scientific stuff to explain
how this is as good as it is- I didn’t have Calvados to put into the apples so I used
brandy instead.
This is , absolutely the best apple cake I’ve ever had.
That cake looks so good. Save me a piece.
Going pretty fast! Come over soon. 🙂
I made that cake last year but it didn’t come out like yours did, I think I had floating apples if I remember rightly, my Russets apples were not the right sort of apple for it. I think yours looks very very beautiful 🙂
Hi Joanna-
It calls for Golden Delicious- and I microwaved them first as the recipe called for- and that made the difference,I think.
It is really delicious and smooth- I would cut down on the sugar next time as I think it is just a little sweet.
So nice to hear from you!
It looks mouthwatering! Heading off to click on the link now! Thanks Heidi and happy October! xx
It is so good- Celia- if you get a chance watch the video that comes with it. Watching these two eat this cake is like torture until you make it yourself!
That looks delicious. Next time I come home I want a piece of that!
Ok , baby! you wish is my command. Since my husband says I’m your personal chef and all! 😀
Oh, this looks incredible. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of apple cake and this one could well become my favourite too!
Thanks Kari-
We are really enjoying it- and it freezes well, too!
Love the apple cake…the perfect thing for fall. The custard layer looks like it gives it the finishing touch.
The best part is that you use one batter- take out a cup – add two egg yolks to what is left and mix with the apples, then add 2 TBS of flour to the cup and smooth that on top. It is so easy- and yet so different in texture and taste. I’m definitely making this again.
Thanks for visiting!
Lovely Heidi. How could someone resist a cake like that? Looks very good indeed. It’s nearly 7am here…too early for cake?
Never to early for apple cake, Brydie!
