Are you in need for an apple cake recipe? Maybe one with vanilla custard? Basically an Apple Custard Cake?
And it should tick all of these boxes:
- Apples?
- Vanilla custard?
- Short crust?
- Whipped cream, topped with cinnamon?
You can check all your boxes right now! Woohoo!
But I seriously have to warn you as there is a high chance that you will get addicted to this beautiful apple cake!
I know someone who once made it at least 5 weekends in a row, as everyone requested this Apple Custard Cake when they visited her. OK, and because she is addicted to this cake. Seriously. 😉
What makes this Apple Custard Cake so special?
It’s the cinnamon. Cinnamon and apples and whipped cream in combination is just too good to be true. 😉 Ok and the custard as well. Vanilla Custard to be precise.
The Apple custard cream topped with cinnamon makes it so delicious, and it actually is fairly simple to make. You only need to ensure to let it cool down properly for maximum flavour. So best is to prepare it in the morning and to enjoy in the afternoon. Or even the next day when there is something left, which I highly doubt.
How to make this cool apple cake?
It’s actually fairly simple, but is for sure a showstopper on every coffee table. You simply first make the shortcrust base, and I mean, who doesn’t love a shortcrust base?
And to prevent the base from getting soggy from the apples and custard, you simply add some bread crumbs.
You then need to slice the apples, make the custard, mix it and bake it. After a cooling down period, you add the whipped cream, sprinkle with cinnamon and you are good to go! So there you have it, it really is that simple.
Enjoy baking the apple custard cake!
