This is an adaptation of a recipe I have had and baked since I was 12 years old (skole kjoekkenet). As with all my recipes, I always use less sugar and oil than it calls for. I also usually add 1 package of apple sauce (no sugar added) to my GF recipes to keep it moister longer. 1 cup = 2.5 dl or 250 ml
Apple cake
300 grams margarine (I used 2.5 sticks)
3 dl sugar (I used 1 cup)
3 eggs
(1/2 cup of apple sauce, optional)
6 dl flour (I used 2 cups Pamela’s GF Bread mix and almost 1 cup of rice flour, but could have used any GF all purpose flour)
2 ts baking powder (check if your all purpose flour already has some in it)
2 ts GF vanilla
2 sweet/juicy apples, peeled and sliced thinly or in cubes.
Margarine must be soft/almost melted, mix it with sugar and vanilla until light and creamy. (Add apple sauce) Add some of the flour, then mix in the eggs, then the rest of the flour + baking powder.
Spread evenly into 9 x 13 pan. Cover with apple slices or cubes. Sprinkle with cinnamon (and sugar if you desire) Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes (increase time at high altitude, but check for doneness after about 35 min)
I was elated and very surprised that it turned out so yummy after I changed the recipe and “winged it” so severely 🙂
