Norwegian Apple Cake - Norway traditional dish

🧂 材料

200 g Butter(softened, plus extra for greasing)
200 g Granulated sugar(plus extra for sprinkling)
3 room temperature Large eggs
200 g All-purpose flour
1.5 tsp Baking powder
100 ml Milk
3-4 large Apples(peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (e.g., Granny Smith or Gala))
2 tsp Ground cinnamon(for sprinkling on apples)

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 24cm (9-inch) round cake pan or springform pan.
💡 プロのコツ: Lining the bottom with parchment paper can prevent sticking.
2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
💡 プロのコツ: Sifting the flour can result in a lighter cake.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
💡 プロのコツ: Overmixing can develop gluten and make the cake tough.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
💡 プロのコツ: A spatula helps to get all the batter out of the bowl.
7
Arrange the thinly sliced apples over the top of the batter in a decorative pattern (e.g., concentric circles).
💡 プロのコツ: Press the apples slightly into the batter.
8
Sprinkle the sliced apples evenly with cinnamon and a little extra granulated sugar.
9
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
10
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
