Yield: 6
Ingredients: 4 eggs; 180 g sugar; a pinch of salt; 80 ml sunflower oil; 90 g plain yogurt; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 270 g all-purpose flour; 1 packet of baking powder; 3 apples; 1 egg; 50 g sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 30 g cornstarch; 240 ml milk; 1 teaspoon powdered sugar

Preparation procedure

Preparing the batter In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt until frothy. Gradually pour in the oil, stir in the yogurt and vanilla extract. Finally add the flour with the baking powder and gently combine everything into a smooth batter.
Preparing the pan and apples Line a cake pan (Ø approx. 20 cm) with parchment paper. Peel the apples and slice them thinly. Divide the batter so that you can layer it: batter – apples – batter – apples – batter – apples – final layer batter.
Vanilla cream Whisk the egg with the sugar and vanilla extract, add the starch and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Transfer the cream into a piping bag and decorate the surface of the cake.
Baking Bake in an oven preheated to 170 °C for about 50 minutes. If the surface browns too much after 35 minutes, cover the cake with aluminum foil.
Finishing Let the cake cool completely. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
