Recipe for juicy cake with applesauce
To bake the juicy cake with applesauce you need the following ingredients:
Ingredients
160 g butter at room temperature
180 g sugar
1 packet of vanilla sugar
2 eggs size. M-L
300 g applesauce
230 g flour
60 g ground hazelnuts
½ packet of baking powder
For decoration:
20 g powdered sugar
200 g cream
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C O/U heat and grease a 26cm springform pan with butter or oil.
- Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer for about 5 minutes until light and creamy.
- Then stir in the eggs one at a time. Then stir in applesauce.
Note:
Be careful when stirring in the eggs. If you work too quickly, the mixture can flocculate quickly.
- Pour the flour and baking powder through a sieve into the mixture and stir in together with the hazelnuts.
- Pour the dough into the springform pan and let it bake in the oven on the bottom rack for about 25 to 30 minutes. Towards the end of the baking time, use a chopstick to check whether the cake is baked through.
Tip:
When testing with sticks, pierce the center of the cake with a wooden skewer. If liquid dough still sticks to the skewer, the cake is not yet done. A clean skewer, on the other hand, indicates a well-cooked cake. Minimal crumbs are fine.
Dust the still slightly warm cake with powdered sugar and serve with a dollop of cream or small dots of cream.
The correct form
This juicy cake with applesauce is a classic sponge cake. The quantities are sufficient for a 26 cm springform pan. Alternatively, the amount of dough is sufficient for a loaf pan (30 x 11 cm) or a bundt pan with a diameter of 22 cm. However, the baking time can also be extended. Because with a thicker dough the dough takes longer to bake.
