Preparation

How to prepare Light Apple Cake

To make the light apple cake, first carefully wash the apples. Cut the apples into quarters 1, remove the central core part 2, and then slice them thinly without peeling 3.

Transfer the sliced apples into a large bowl, add the lemon juice 4 and honey 5. In a separate bowl, pour the egg whites 6,

the sugar 7 and salt 8; beat the mixture with electric whisks for a couple of minutes. Add the yogurt 9 and work for a few seconds.

Incorporate the sifted flour and baking powder 10 11 and the flax seeds 12.

Finally, pour the orange juice 13 and work with the whisks until you get a homogeneous mixture 14. Add the apple slices to the batter, keeping 1/3 aside for decoration 15.

Line the bottom of a 9-inch mold with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Level the surface with a spoon 16 and decorate with the remaining apples 17. You can create a pattern like ours 18 or rays if you prefer.

Sprinkle through a sieve some brown sugar 19 and flax seeds 20. Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven 21 and let cool slightly before unmolding. Serve the light apple cake at room temperature.
