Low-calorie apple and vanilla cake: extra tips
Tip 1: The apples for the cake can be perfectly cut into fine slices with a vegetable slicer.
Tip 2: If you want, you can use alternative sweeteners such as xylitol , honey or rice syrup instead of sugar. However, do not replace the sugar 1:1 with other sweeteners, as the sugar gives the cake support and shape.
Tip 3: If you want to do without wheat flour or – due to an intolerance – have to, you can also try other types of flour such as oat flour or soy flour. To make the cake more nutritious and fiber-rich and even tastier, you can also replace the wheat flour with wholemeal or spelled flour.
These apples are particularly good for baking
Apple varieties are a dime a dozen – but which one is particularly suitable for our cake? If you want to bake an apple pie, you should choose an apple variety that is considered to be a fruit for cooking. Raw cooking apples usually taste sour or bland, only when they are cooked do they develop their full aroma. Dessert fruit, which in turn tastes delicious when raw, is not so well suited for baking.
We like to bake with these apples:
