Eggless Apple Cake : so soft & moist!…
Eggless apple pie is a fluffy and easy-to-make cake. In addition to being an eggless cake it is also without butter and without milk, in fact this apple cake is perfect for those who are lactose intolerant. Thanks to the apple juice, added into the dough, this homemade cake will have an intense flavor and unique aroma.
Ingredients for a 24cm (9.5 inch) cake tin:
- 575g (4-5 medium) Rennet apples / Pippin apples
- 200g (1 2/3 cups) Plain flour/ All-purpose flour
- 200g (1 cup) Sugar
- 100g (1/2 cup) Apple juice
- 150g (2/3 cup) Sunflower oil
- 16g (4 teaspoons) Baking powder
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 35g (2 tablespoons) Lemon juice
How to Eggless Apple Cake:
- To prepare the apple cake without eggs as first thing grate the zest of the lemon and keep it aside, then squeeze the juice from it, so that you get the indicated amount (approximately half a lemon will be needed). Now move on to the apples: peel them and cut them into wedges. Remove the core and cut the apples into cubes about 1 cm large. You will need to get 375 grams.
- Transfer the apple cubes to a bowl, add lemon juice to keep them from blackening, and mix well. Move on to the dough.
- In a bowl, pour the sugar and with the whisks in action, on low speed, slowly incorporate the apple juice in a trickle.
- When it is well incorporated, add the oil as well, again pouring it in flush, with the electric whips running, so that you get a stable, glossy emulsion. In a bowl sift flour and baking powder.
- Mix the powders together and add them to the bowl one tablespoon at a time, continuing to work with the electric whips so that the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Take the apple cubes and also add the previously grated lemon zest inside.
- Pour them into the dough and mix well to incorporate them. Transfer the dough inside a 24-cm mold lined with baking paper.
- At this point bake the cake in a static oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) in the medium-low shelf for about 45 to 50 minutes. Check the baking with a toothpick; if not, extend it until it is dry. Take the eggless apple pie out of the oven and let it cool inside the mold before unmolding and serving.
