  • 200 ml Oil
  • 250 g demerara sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 150 g Applesauce

  • 1 TEASPOON Cinnamon powder
  • 1 TEASPOON Baking Powder
  • 100 g Whipped cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp Fat and flour

Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the nuts in a pan without fat while turning them golden brown. Let them cool down on a flat plate. Cream mascarpone, butter, 1 egg, starch and 2 tbsp. sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer.

  2. 2

    Set aside. Peel and quarter apples, remove core and cut quarters into small cubes. Drizzle apple cubes with lemon juice and set aside.

  3. 3

    Finely chop 100 g nuts. Set the rest aside for decorating. Mix 3 eggs, oil, brown sugar, salt, vanillin sugar and applesauce with the whisk of the hand mixer. Mix flour, cinnamon and baking powder.

  4. 4

    Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in diced apples and chopped nuts.

  5. 5

    Fill about half of the dough into a greased, flour-blasted tube bottom mould (2.8 litres capacity) and smooth it down. Spread the mascarpone mixture in the middle of the dough so that there is a distance of approx. 0.5 cm between the dough and the cake tin.

  6. 6

    Add the rest of the dough and smooth it down. Bake the cake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 1-1 1/4 hours. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the mould for about 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Drop onto a cake rack and let it cool down.

  8. 8

    Meanwhile caramelise 75 g sugar in a small pot until golden brown. Add cream and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the caramel has dissolved. Let the sauce cool down.

  9. 9

    Arrange the cake on a plate. Roughly chop the nuts. Decorate cake with sauce and nuts.
