What can you do with 1 kg of apples? Why, the Invisible Apple Cake, of course, a truly delicious dessert that is prepared quickly and with few ingredients. I usually bake it when I don’t have much time, but also when we’re invited somewhere and I need a last-minute cake.
There’s no need for complicated procedures; the longest part is slicing the apples thinly. If you have a food processor that slices, the times will shorten considerably.
I recommend not using too mealy apples; you need nice firm ones that won’t crumble and will stay firmer.

Ingredients
- 2.2 lbs apples (whole, about 1.76 lbs cleaned (6 or 7 whole apples))
- 3.4 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 eggs
- 2.1 oz brown sugar (plus sugar needed to sprinkle on cake surface)
- 7 tbsp milk
- 1.8 oz butter
- 3.5 oz all-purpose flour
- 1 packet baking powder (0.56 oz)
- as needed powdered sugar (to decorate the surface)
Steps
Put the lemon juice in a bowl, wash and slice the apples thinly with a peeler, let them macerate in the lemon adding 4 teaspoons of sugar and the cinnamon.
Beat the eggs with the brown sugar until frothy. Add the melted butter, the milk, and beat again.
Now sift the baking powder and flour and add them to the mixture, beating again with the whisk to mix the ingredients.
Gently pour part of the apples (set aside one or one and a half to use for decorating the surface of the cake) into the egg mixture and stir with a spatula.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased and floured 9-inch (or 9.5-inch if you prefer it wider) pan.
Sprinkle the surface with brown sugar.
Arrange the apple slices you set aside on the surface, sprinkle with a little brown sugar and bake at 350°F for about 50/55 minutes.
Unmold it and remove it from the pan when it’s already cold.
Dust with a little powdered sugar and enjoy!
Tips, Advice
You can also add one or two more apples, in this way you’ll get a creamy texture, almost like an apple pudding.
