Apple cakes are universal and I've got 5 apple cakes from around the world for you! From rich, nutty Amish apple dapple cake with salted butterscotch sauce, to a kilo-packed Sicilian apple cake with rum-soaked raisins and nuts, these apple cakes span the globe. There's a quick and fluffy German apple cake with sunken sliced apples, Japan's apple packed "invisible" cake and Italy's stunning thousand layered apple cake made with just four simple ingredients.
This cake has origins in Amish, southern American and Jewish cooking and is a chunky nutty cake with pieces of soft apple with an incredible salted butterscotch sauce on top!
This Sicilian apple cake uses up 1 kilo or 2.2lbs. worth of apples and it a bit strudel and a bit cake too. We also add rum soaked raisins, toasted walnuts, pine nuts and a final flourish with rum and icing sugar!
This German Apple cake is also called Versunkener Apfelkuchen and takes less than 20 minutes prep time! We sink sliced apples into a simple butter sponge cake that is light and fluffy.
This Japanese invisible apple cake is for when you love apples more than cake. There are so many slices of apple in this cake that they call the cake part "invisible"!
This apple layer cake is something special and is a total labour of love. Made with just four ingredients it is spectacular. All you need are lots of mandolined apple slices, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon.
So tell me Dear Reader, do you have an apple cake in your country? Which cake do you like the sound of the most?
