Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C Circotherm.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, butter and sugar and beat with a hand mixer until foamy. Add flour and baking powder and stir until you have a smooth batter.

Step 2

Butter a cake tin (26 to 28 cm diameter) and fill with the batter.

Bake the torte on shelf level 2 for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 3

In the meantime, peel the apples and grate coarsely.

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine apples, butter, eggs and sugar and flavour to taste with lemon juice. Add a packet of vanilla pudding and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Let cool and spread the mixture onto the cake.

Step 4

Beat together cream, sugar and whipped-cream stabilizer.

Distribute a fluffy layer on top of the apple mixture. If desired, sprinkle with coarsely grated dark or white chocolate. Garnish with a variety of berries.

Enjoy!
