INGREDIENTS FOR YIELDS

  • 1 cup (125g) Flour
  • 1 cup (170g) semolina
  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. (175g) Sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) Milk
  • 6 apples
  • 2-3 tablespoons Lemon juice
DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan with butter, line bottom and sides with parchment paper. Grease the parchment as well.
  2. In a large bowl mix flour, semolina, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. Peel the apples, grate and transfer to a bowl. Add lemon juice and stir. Set aside.
  4. Spread 1/4 of the flour mixture over the bottom of the pan, then spread 1/3 of the grated apples. Repeat this process with the reaming flour mixture and grated apples. In total: 4 flour layer and 3 apple layers.
  5. In a small bowl mix milk and melted butter. Pour milk mixture over the cake and pierce with a fork so the milk mixture will pass through the layers.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

    Great recipes! Better than I expected without eggs however I found the milk is better poured over each layer to avoid flour residue on the bottom layer
