Ingredients
- 3 apples
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour plus 1 tbsp for raisin
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup Potato Starch
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- ½ cup raisin
- 3 oz rum
Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice the apples.
- Take two mixing bowls and divide the egg yolks from the whites.
- Soften the butter slightly in the microwave and let it cool down; then add it to the egg yolks and the sugar.
- Stir all the ingredients until well combined.
- Sift together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Add it to the egg mixture, a little at a time.
- Soak the raisins in rum and let them sit for 10 minutes then drain the raisins and lightly coat them with flour.
- Whip the whites to a stiff peak with a hand mixer at high speed.
- Fold the whites into the batter with downwards motions to maintain as much volume as possible.
- Finely grate some of the apples into the batter and add the raisins.
- Transfer the batter to a parchment-lined pan; the cake won’t stick to the pan so you can remove it easily.
- Slice the remaining apples and arrange them on the top of the batter.
- Sprinkle it with raw cane sugar for a crunchy delicious crust.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 40 minutes in a static oven.
- If the top gets too brown, lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- Do the toothpick test. Insert it into the cake, and if it comes out clean, it is ready.
- Turn off the oven, and leave the cake in for about 5-7 minutes to cool down gradually; then open the oven door and let it stand for about 10 minutes more.
- Let it cool and remember that if you baked it the day before, the taste will become more intense.
