If you know that someone is coming over tonight and you don’t want to open just a pack of biscuits, you can always make some effort and bake something really easy, yet yummy. It’s quick, it’s rich and so filling.
Ingredients:
3 apples (or half a kilo of Victoria plums, or any other soft, but not too juicy fruit)
2 glasses of plain flour
200 grams of melted (but not hot butter)
4-5 eggs
1 glass of icing sugar
2 tea spoons of baking powder
Vanilla extract
Preparation:
If you’re using apples, peel them, cut in 4, remove pips and cut each piece in 4 again. If you’re using plums, wash them, cut in half and remove the stones.
Prepare your baking tray: grease it with butter and dredge with bread crumbs.
Separate yolks from the egg whites. All egg whites place in a bowl, but yolks place separately into small cups.
Beat the egg whites till thick, add icing sugar and beat again till smooth and shiny. Keep beating, adding yolks one at a time.
Slowly start adding flour mixed with baking powder: 2-3 spoons of flour and then 2-3 spoons of melted butter.
Add vanilla extract and mix all together for a few minutes.
Pour the mixture onto your baking tray. I use a medium size, round one. On top of the mixture place apples or plums (skin down) or other fruit you’re using.
Place in a preheated oven and bake in 180 degrees for 50 minutes.
To make sure your cake is baked, use a wooden skewer. If it comes out of the cake dry, your cake is ready.
When cold, slice and sprinkle with icing sugar.
