Eggless Apple Cake
by Tarla Dalal

The best thing about using apple in any dessert is that it appeals to everybody. It has a soft texture, pleasing aroma and mild taste, which everybody will enjoy.

The Apple Cake is one such creation that focuses on apples. Slices of apple are arranged like a beautiful rose, atop a base of plain flour dough, flavoured gently with vanilla and cardamom.

A sprinkling of castor sugar over the apple slices before baking softens the fruit and gives you a nice, icy mouth-feel.

The Apple Cake is best enjoyed warm, with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream. Try other fruity delights like the Apple Pie and Crunchy Pineapple Cake .

Combine the plain flour and baking powder in a deep bowl, make a well in the centre, and add the 1 tsp of castor sugar, yeast and 5 to 7 tsp of milk in the depression.
Mix all the ingredients in the depression. Keep aside for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining sugar, butter, vanilla essence and cardamom powder, mix well and knead into a soft dough using approx. ¼ cup milk. Cover with a lid or damp muslin cloth and keep aside for 10 minutes.
Dust the hands with little plain flour and knead again to make it smooth.
Place the dough into a 175 mm. × 175 mm. (7” ×7”) diameter baking dish and spread the dough evenly by patting it using your fingers.
Closely arrange the apple slices starting from the edges towards the centre to form a rose design.

We recommend using castor sugar. However, if you don''t have it, use powdered sugar which is lump free.
