Ingredients: (for a 30 cm pan)

• 6-8 apples
• 3 eggs
• juice of half a lemon
• a sachet of baking powder (15g)
• 50 g brown sugar
• flaked almonds
• 40 g melted butter
• vanilla essence
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 130 ml milk
• 150 g flour
• ~400 g strawberries
• 2 sachets vanilla sugar

Preparation:

Rinse, peel, and cut the apples in half. Use the grater’s slicing side to create thin slices. Place the slices in a large bowl and toss with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork. Then, pour in the melted butter and mix well. Add the sugar, stirring until combined. Next, incorporate the flour and cinnamon, mixing thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Finally, pour in the milk and stir until the batter is smooth.

Pour the prepared batter over the apple slices and mix well. Line a cake or pastry pan with parchment paper. Arrange half of the apple slices in the pan, followed by a layer of hulled strawberries. Finish by adding the remaining apple slices on top.

Sprinkle the vanilla sugar and almond flakes over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 1 to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is fully cooked through.

Garnish with fresh strawberries on top and dust with a light coating of powdered sugar.

Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours. Serve cold, and if you’re feeling indulgent, add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on the side. 🙂
