Yield: 10
Ingredients: 1 egg yolk; 270 ml milk; 30 g all-purpose flour; 25 g cornstarch; 8 g vanilla sugar; 60 g granulated sugar; 2 eggs; a pinch of salt; 110 g sugar; 100 ml vegetable oil; 110 ml lukewarm milk; 280 g all-purpose flour; 16 g baking powder; 8 g vanilla sugar; 1 larger apple (peeled and diced); 50 g raisins; 1 egg yolk; 2 tablespoons milk

Preparation of the vanilla cream Put the yolk, milk, flour, starch, vanilla sugar and granulated sugar into a saucepan. Whisk thoroughly until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick, smooth cream forms. Remove from heat and let cool.

Preparation of the dough In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and the sugar until pale and foamy. Gradually add the oil and lukewarm milk.

Incorporating the dry ingredients In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the liquid base to create a smooth, semi-liquid batter.

Assembling the cake Grease a 22 cm diameter pan and dust with flour or line with baking paper. Pour in half of the batter. Evenly spread the apples and raisins. Spread the cooled vanilla cream over them. Finally, carefully pour the remaining batter over and smooth.

Brushing the surface Mix the egg yolk with the milk and gently brush the surface of the cake so it will acquire a beautiful golden color after baking.
