VEGAN APPLE CAKE OR "APFELWEINTORTE"

The apple-cream cake was the second cake for the concert-catering. I absolutely love that one. It´s not as boring as a pound cake and not as complex as to prepare a cream pie. Another good thing is that the dough contains very little sugar, but the apple-mass makes the cake fruity and sweet to the taste. So but now i´ve raved enough. Just try it out and see for yourself =)

Ingredients:

• 150g margarine
• 70g sugar + 150g sugar
• 1 egg-Replacer
• 1/2 package baking powder
• 2/4 liter apple-juice + 1/4 liter water
• 1 package vanilla-sugar
• 250g all-purpose flour
• 1 kg apples
• 2 packages custard-powder
• 1 pack whipping cream (i used soyatoo)
• powdered sugar (to taste)
• some cinnamon

1. Mix the flour with the baking powder and sift onto worktop. Make a well at the centre.
2. Place the mixed egg-replacer, the margarine and 70g sugar in the well and knead until the dough is soft. Let the dough cool until you prepare the apple-mass.
3. Peel the apples and cut them into small pieces. 
4. Slightly damp your apples with 150g of sugar for about 10 minutes. 
5. Mix well the custard-powder with about 10 tbsp of the water. Heat the rest of the water together with the juice. Add the custard mixture to the hot juice and stir well. Let it cook for about 1 minute. Then slowly fold in the apples.
6. Butter a 26cm springform pan. Roll out the dough and place into the pan. Don´t forget the sides!
7. Fill the apple mixture to the springform and put it in a 175°C oven and bake for about 60 minutes. 
8. If the cake is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely before adding the whip cream. 
9. Whip cream until stiff. Add powdered sugar and cinnamon to taste and spread it over the cake.
10. Sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon-sugar and put it in the refrigerator until you need the cake!!
