Instructions
Preparation
- Grease or line a 7 to 7.5 inches round cake pan or tin. You can even line the pan with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven now at 180 degrees C/356 degrees F for 15 minutes.
- Rinse, peel, core and slice the apples.
Lining cake pan with apples
- Layer the apple slices neatly on the base of the cake pan/tin in single or double layer.
- Sprinkle cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder on the apple layer. Also sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice, so that the apples do not discolor. Sprinkling lemon juice is an optional step.
- Keep this cake pan/tin aside.
Making apple upside down cake
- In a bowl, take all the dry ingredients - whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, powdered jaggery, vanilla powder and cinnamon powder.
- Mix them well with a wired whisk. If using vanilla essence or extract then add it when adding lemon juice.
- Add the water and oil, stir and mix to get a lump-free batter. Do not over-mix.
- Now add the lemon juice and mix well again.
- Pour the batter all over on an even layer over the apple slices in the prepared cake pan/tin.
- Bake at 180 degrees C/356 degrees F for 45 to 55 minutes in the preheated oven.
- When cooled to room temperature, remove the cake gently. Serve the Eggless Apple Upside Down Cake with tea or coffee or as an after meal dessert.
Notes
- Instead of jaggery, add ¾ cup powdered jaggery (or ¾ cup brown sugar or ¾ cup raw sugar or ½ cup confectioner's sugar or powdered sugar.
- The cake can be made entirely with all-purpose flour. In this case, add ¾ cup water instead of 1 cup water.
- Organic powdered jaggery does not have any impurities and is good while preparing cakes, muffins or even Indian sweets.
- Keep in mind that the time taken to bake the cake varies from oven to oven. It can take more or less time in your oven. So, keep a check.
- I suggest to line your cake pan/tin with a parchment paper as this helps to easily remove the cake without letting the apple slices stick to the bottom of the cake pan/tin.
- Some whole wheat flours may have a strong nutty flavor which comes through while baking. Adding a few more flavorings and ground spices will help mask this typical taste and flavor.
- Ensure not to over-mix the cake batter as this might result in a dense and doughy texture after baking. Since this recipe uses whole wheat flour, over-mixing can result in the formation of gluten strands in the batter.
- The sweetness in the cake batter can be adjusted as per your preferences. You can also use raw sugar or confectioner's sugar or powdered sugar instead of jaggery powder.
- Note that the approximate nutrition info is for 1 slice of the cake.
