This beautiful Mascarpone Apple Cinnamon Cake by Silvia Colloca from @cooklikeanitalianau is simple, delicious and has a soft, dense texture. The secret to the texture of this cake is mascarpone, a soft cheese similar to cream cheese that is incredibly rich and creamy and rapadura sugar which adds a soft caramel flavour to the batter. This Mascarpone Apple Cinnamon cake is sure to be a true crowd pleaser.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and flour (or line with baking paper) a 20 cm spring-form tin.
- Cut two apples into thin wedges and chop the rest. Place in a bowl of cold water mixed with the juice of 1 lemon.
- Beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the mascarpone and mix until soft and creamy. Add lemon zest and juice of 1 lemon and vanilla. Whisk to combine until smooth. Gently incorporate the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. And the chopped apples and mix well.
- Pour the batter into the tin and arrange the apple wedges over the top in a circle. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and brush the top with apricot jam. Cool in the tin for 20 minutes, then gently let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.
