Apple cake /eplekake

When the crisp and clean fall air comes around each year all I want to do is drink hot cocoa and eat apple-y cinnamon-y stuff. The first thing on my baking list is then obviously a super delicious apple cake. This repice is very simple and does not call for any complicated baking methods or ingredients. So there isn't really anything stopping you from baking this cake right now.

As you can tell by the pictures I'm not a big fan of using too much apple in my cake. But this is a matter of preference; you can use as many apples as you'd like in your cake. So, let's get started!

Apple cake
150g unsalted butter at room temperature
250g sugar
2 eggs
0,6 cups cream
300g flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
3-5 apples
+
sugar and cinnamon to coat the apples and to spread on top of the cake

Eplekake
150g usaltet smør romstemperert
250g sukker
2 egg
1,5 dl fløte
300g mel
2 ts bakepulver
1 ts vaniljeekstrakt
1 ts kanel
3-5 epler
+
sukker og kanel til å dekke eplene og strø på toppen av kaken

Set the oven to 350 fahrenheit/ 175 celcius

1. Whip butter and sugar white
2. When the butter and sugar mix is white add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
3. Mix the dry ingredients in a different bowl.
4. Peel and cut the apples, put them in a plastic bag and add as much cinnamon and sugar as you want and shake until it has covered all of the apples.
5. Add the mix of dry ingredients with the butter and sugar mix alternating with the cream. When alternating wet and dry ingredients always begin and end with the dry ingredients.
6. Now you have two options. You can either add the apple bites to the dough, stir them in and then add the mixture to the pan or add the dough to the pan and then put the bites in. Again, this is all about preference.
7. Put in the oven and let cook for about 45 - 60 mins.
8. Let cool and then eat with some vanilla ice cream and hot cocoa!

1. Pisk smør og sukker hvitt
2. Når smøret og sukkeret er lyst nok, tilsetter du eggene ett av gangen. Pisk godt mellom hvert egg.
3. Bland de tørre ingrediensene i en annen bolle.
4. Skrell og del opp eplene, putt bitene i en plastpose, tilsett så mye sukker og kanel som du vil og rist posen til alle bitene er dekket av sukker og kanel.
5. Tilsett blandingen av tørre ingredienser til smørblandingen og bland annenhver gang med fløten. Når man blander ingredienser på denne måten er det viktig å alltid begynne og slutte med de tørre ingrediensene.
6. Nå har du to valg. Du kan enten putte alle eplebitene i røren og blande eller putte røren i formen og så presse ned bitene. Det spiller ingen rolle hvilken metode du velger.
7. Sett i ovnen og stek i ca 45 -60 min.
8. La den kjøle seg ned og nyt med litt vaniljeis og varm kakao!
