Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • 200 g sugar
  • 200 g butter
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tsp baking powder with top
  • 200 g all-pourpose flour
  • 2 apples
  • 1 dl raisins can be omitted

Topping:

  • 2 apples
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 dl almond flakes can be omitted

Instructions
 

  • Turn on the oven and heat it up to 180 degrees Celcius normal heat.
  • Put eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat until light, white and fluffy. Here it is an advantage with an electric whisk or a mixer.
  • Split the vanilla bean, scrape out the grains, mix it with a little sugar and beat it together with the egg mixture and the vanilla essence.
  • Put flour and baking powder in a sieve and sift it into the egg mixture, mix it again until it is a smooth dough.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and allow it to cool slightly. Then slowly whisk it into the dough.
  • Peel the apples and cut them into pieces approx. 1 × 1 cm. Put the apple pieces and raisins in the dough and mix it all together.
  • Pour the dough into a greased springform pan of approx. 22 cm in diameter.
  • Then the cake must be topped. Peel the last apples and cut them into thin slices. Put them on top, and press them a little into the dough.
  • Finish by sprinkling cinnamon and sugar as well as almond flakes over the cake.
  • Bake the cake for approx. 40 min in the preheated oven. Here it is important to check the cake along the way, otherwise, there is a risk that it will become dry. If there is still dough on the knife when you stick it in the cake, it should have a little more time in the oven. Take it out when it is done.
  • Let the cake cool a bit and serve it with sour cream or vanilla ice cream or just as it is.
