Spelt Apple Cake

•

The spelt apple cake is a simple and genuine cake, made with spelt flour, eggs and blended apple, sweetened with a little sugar and scented with cinnamon.

Extra virgin olive oil gives it softness, for a light but flavorful cake, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

The peculiarity of this cake that makes it also very quick to make is that you can prepare it in a food processor, saving time and effort.

Of course, if you don’t have a food processor you can use a bowl and fork, following the same steps.

Needless to say, the apple cake immediately takes us to our most comfortable place, home, to cuddles and our loved ones.

A cake to share in front of an excellent cup of tea, herbal tea, or good coffee.

  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cake Pan 22 cm

Steps

  • Put the eggs, chopped apple (peeled or unpeeled, your choice), grated lemon peel, and sugar into the food processor.

    Blend until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture.

    Add the extra virgin olive oil and blend again for a few seconds.

    Add the spelt flour, a pinch of salt, cinnamon, and the sifted baking powder.

    Blend briefly, just long enough to mix everything.


  • Pour the batter into an oiled and floured pan or lined with parchment paper.

    Garnish the surface with apple slices, enough to cover it all.

    Bake in a static oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes, doing the toothpick test before removing from the oven.

    Let it cool and, if you like, finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar.

Storage of the Spelt Apple Cake

If it’s cool, store the cake under a cake dome or in an airtight container for 2–3 days. It will remain soft thanks to the blended apple.

In the fridge
If it’s warm or you prefer longer storage, you can put it in the fridge, always well covered.

It keeps for 4–5 days. Before serving, take it out 15–20 minutes in advance: it will become softer and more fragrant.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
