Apple cake

It had been a long time since a sweet recipe had been uploaded. I have to admit that I get more salty ... but sometimes I do some delicious cakes, that at home they fly ... and if I take a piece to my work colleagues ... I don't even tell you, it's always little! This time I have prepared a special one, an apple cake.

With the Thermomix it is a wonder to do fruit cupcakes, because we crush the fruit so much that it is not noticeable, but all its flavor remains. I do everything, the last one, do you remember? you really liked: the banana cake.

In this case we are going to use apples It is a fruit that does not go out of season and that is always at a good price. So sometime you have to spend apples and you don't know why this is a very good option. And if not, as is my case, when I buy I always reserve one that is not excessively green to make this cake. You can make it with the type of apple that you like the most, but I recommend some with a lot of flavor: granny smith type, pippin, pink lady, royal gala, fuji ... and I would discard the stark or golden variety (the classic yellow and red), which they are grittier and have less flavor.

On the other hand, it is a fantastic way for the little ones in the house to eat fruit and healthy pastries, no pre-cooked or Industrial bakery.

I put the measurements for a big cake. If you want you can reduce the amounts by half, except for the apple, which instead of putting half, you can put a smaller one.

In addition, for those of you who do not know it, in this recipe we will learn how to make our own sugar glass and you will see how you will never again buy powdered sugar at the supermarket because yours is more natural and cheaper.

Shall we start?

How to make the apple cake without yogurt

We can substitute the yogurt for the same amount of cream or milk. If we want a lactose-free option, we can use products such as lactose-free milk or yogurt. But we can also choose to:

• Plant milks such as almond or oatmeal, for example.
• Fruit juices, such as orange or apple, for example.

How to make the apple cake with crushed apple

We can also substitute yogurt or milk by making an "apple puree / juice". We will only have to crush the amount of apple indicated in the recipe with the amount of liquid / milk that the recipe includes. In this case, for example, we would put 125 g of water and a chopped apple in the thermomix (without skin if it is not organic and without core or seeds). We shred 2 minutes at speed 10.

We would add this puree in point 3, that is, with the oil and the liquids.

2 tips to make the cake super fluffy

We are lucky to have a super machine that will help us our cakes are super fluffy. Here are some tips:

1.  The key is in the beaten eggs. That is, we will have to do that our eggs are super aerated and for this we will use the butterfly. We will put the eggs with the sugar and beat with the butterfly on 3 minutes, temperature 37º, speed 4. Afterwards, we beat the same time again but without a beaker, so that more air enters the mixture.
2. Sift the flour. Before adding the flour to the glass, it helps that we sift it with a strainer or before starting the recipe that we put it in the glass and move it to speed 6 a few seconds.
