Of the apple cloud cake with lattice cream, I only made half a batch and I regretted it bitterly!
It’s a simple homemade treat of extraordinary goodness, a real cuddle!
Soft as a cloud and home-scented, this apple cloud cake with cream is a simple delight to make and irresistible! Its peculiarity? A delicate lattice made with homemade custard that gently blends into the original batter during baking, creating a scenic effect and a unique and delicious texture.
Perfect for breakfast or the whole family’s snack, it will win you over with the first bite for the softness of the base and the creaminess of the lattice decoration with custard.
A cake that combines the tradition of apple cakes and fantasy, easy to make but very special!
I prepared it with a square pan, but of course, we can use a round one and trace a concentric spiral of custard on the surface to recreate the same effect!

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE APPLE CLOUD CAKE WITH LATTICE CREAM
I start by making the custard, so I warm the milk in a saucepan while in a bowl I mix the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract with the whisks.
Then I pour the hot milk over the egg mixture and put it back on the flame, stirring and thickening the custard: it will take about 3/4 minutes!
Once cooked, I cover it with plastic wrap in contact and let it cool while I start preparing the base batter for the apple cloud cake with lattice cream.
I peel the apples and cut them into slices, drizzling them with lemon juice to prevent browning.
I melt the butter and let it cool or at least get lukewarm.
I beat the eggs with the sugar in a mixing bowl, be it a stand mixer or not, until they are fluffy, frothy, and light-colored.
I now add the melted and cooled butter, the vegetable oil, the apples, the grated lemon zest, and finally the sifted flour with the baking powder.
I butter and flour or use the release spray to grease the pan and then distribute the batter inside, leveling it well and sprinkling it with slivered almonds.
I place the custard in a piping bag and draw a lattice of cream on the surface of the apple cloud cake.
All that’s left is to bake the soft cake with apples and custard in a preheated oven at 356°F static, cooking for about 40/45 minutes or depending on your oven’s characteristics.
We turn off the oven after checking the cooking with the usual toothpick test, and then after letting the cake cool well, we bring it to the table with or without a dusting of powdered sugar.
GOOD GOOD GOOD!!!!!!
Enjoy your meal and happy cooking! Annalisa
