Recipe: Apple Clafoutis Cake
Ingredients:
- For the Apples:
- 3 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for coating)
- For the Batter:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted
- For Garnish:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Apples:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a round baking pan (8 or 9 inches) and arrange the sliced apples evenly in the pan. Optionally, toss the apples in 2 tablespoons of sugar for added sweetness.
- Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add milk, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Sift in the flour and salt, then whisk until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the batter evenly over the sliced apples in the pan, ensuring they’re covered.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
