Servings: 20

800 g Apples (e.g. Elstar)
2 TABLESPOONS Lemon juice
250 g Butter
200 g white chocolate
5 Eggs (Gr. M)
100 g Sugar
1 pck. Vanilla sugar
7-10 Tbsp salt, cinnamon
350 g Flour
100 g ground almonds (without skin)
3 TSP Baking Powder
3 TABLESPOONS Icing sugar

Directions

1
Peel, quarter, core and dice the apples. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Preheat oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Grease a rectangular springform pan (approx. 24 x 30 cm). (If you don't have a springform pan, cut a baking tray in half with a multi-folded aluminium foil strip).
2
Chop the chocolate and melt in a hot water bath with 250 g butter. Beat eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and 1 pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Let the chocolate butter shrink while stirring constantly. Mix flour, almonds and baking powder, stir in briefly. Fold in the apple cubes.
3
Fill the dough into the mould and smooth it down. Bake in a hot oven for about 30 minutes. Let the cake cool down in the tin.
4
Mix icing sugar with 1⁄4 TL cinnamon, put into a small sieve. Dust the cake with it and cut into squares (approx. 6 x 6 cm).
5
TIP: White chocolate does not tolerate strong heat and therefore curdles faster than dark chocolate. Therefore, make sure that the water bath does not bubble under any circumstances, but only steam.
