Ingredients
- flour: 225 grams
- Butter: 200 grams
- dark chocolate: 200 grams
- sugar: 160 grams
- eggs: 4
- Cinnamon: one third of a teaspoon
- vanilla sugar: 1 teaspoon (or vanilla extract)
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- salt: pinch
- 3 apples (medium size).
- Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- chopped walnuts: 1 handful
On top:
- 1. First melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, then add the chopped chocolate, stir until the chocolate melts and remove from the heat. Leave to cool.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.
- 3. Then mix the flour with the cinnamon, baking powder and salt in one bowl.
- 4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until white. Beat with a mixer for about 5 minutes. Then add the flour and beat with the mixer until no lumps remain. Stir the chocolate and butter mixture into the batter.
- 5. Grease a baking tray with butter. I used a round, collapsible baking tray with a diameter of 24 centimetres. Pour the batter into the baking tin.
- 6. Then peel and slice the apples and arrange them on the cake. Sprinkle with walnuts and brown sugar.
- 7. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes, until the inside of the cake is cooked through. Check whether the cake is baked with a wooden skewer - if the skewer is clean (not stuck) when you take it out, then the cake is baked, if not, then bake it a little longer.
- 8. When the cake is baked, remove from the oven and leave to cool, then remove from the baking tin. Can be served with ice cream or cream if desired. Enjoy!
