- 30 g Butter
- 120 ml milk
- 3 large eggs
- 130g sugar
- 1.1kg apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced (the thinner the better)
Grease a loaf tin and line it with baking paper as shown in the picture. This will make it easier for you to remove the finished cake from the pan later. Then sprinkle a little flour over the surfaces and tap off the excess. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
In a bowl, mix flour and baking powder and set aside. In another bowl, mix the miso and butter together well, add 2 tablespoons of milk and stir until all lumps have disappeared. Then add the remaining milk.
In another bowl, use a hand mixer to mix the eggs with the sugar until a light yellow mixture is formed, to which you then add half of the flour mixture. Then stir in the milk mixture and then the remaining flour. As soon as there are no more lumps, fold in the apple slices.
Now distribute these dough-coated disks evenly in the baking pan. Make sure that the straight sides of the slices run along the sides of the mold. Once you get about an inch below the edge, press the apple layers down and continue arranging. Arrange the last layer in a scale-like manner and cover with the remaining dough. Gently tap the mold on the table to remove any air holes.
Bake the fall cake for 65 to 70 minutes, separating it from the sides of the baking pan with a knife after 10 minutes of cooling time and allowing it to cool for about 2 hours before removing.You can serve a delicious caramel sauce with the cake.
