Jewish Apple Cake Recipe | Christmas Apple Cake | Jewish Christmas Baking Recipe



You must be knowing by now that I am a band wagon for simple snack cakes, I love to try and experiment with snack cakes. To be honest I had this bad experience with apple in a cake, I must admit that the last time I made an apple upside down cake it was a disaster since I used a spring form pan and the apple juices got spread in the oven. Silly me did not realise this or rather plan this before doing the recipe. That said I seriously loved the mild flavors of apple & cinnamon in this cake that is so well hugged by a soft spongy cake. Impatient me jumped to cut the cake and had the cake falling apart, but I managed to cut few decent slices and here we go ;-) so don't be in a hurry like me. If you are someone who does not like the Fruit/ Plum cakes for Christmas then you can give a go to this simple yet delicious cake, it tastes great the next day.




This was one of the cake recipes that I had challenged for HBC December and got great reviews about this recipe hence I had to make it myself :-)

Cooks Wisdom -

Tip 1

I used an 8" inch tube pan and halfed the original recipe.

Tip 2

Take care not to cut the cake when it is warm, it can tend to break since it has pieces of  apple in the center

Tip 3

In case you do not like apples simply skip them and use almonds, chocolate chips or raisins

Tip 4

I used an OTG (Oven toast Grill) to bake this cake hence I baked it at 160 C for 50 minutes. Each oven bakes at a different temperature so make adjustments accordingly

Tip 5

You can use rum extract, almond extract or apple juice, pineapple juice
