Apple Sharlotka cake

March 13, 2015 By travellingoven 8 Comments

Hello dear people! Anybody in the mood for a slice of delicious Apple Sharlotka cake? 😀

Hopefully you are all well and happy on this Friday 13th! Well, it’s just a day like any other, right? Thankfully I never had anything dramatically bad happening on this date and well, let’s just hope it stays that way. 🙂
To sweeten a bit this Friday I am sharing a recipe for a simple, easy to make and very delicious apple cake called Apple Sharlotka. Honestly, apple cakes and pies are one of my favourites. It’s just something about apples, cinnamon and vanilla smells and flavours that makes me feel calm and gives a feeling of home, similar to the smell of freshly baked bread. Finally, it makes me hungry too! 😀


In conclusion, the recipe for this cake I found on internet few years ago and it’s a cake I bake over and over again. Specially if I have guests and not so much time (or the energy!) to make anything a bit more complicated. I hope you’ll give it a try and let me know how it turned out!

Recipe in English:

Prep time
20 mins
Cook time
55 mins
Total time
1 hour 15 mins
 
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 6 large, tart apples, such as Granny Smiths
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
  • Butter for greasing the pan
  • Ground cinnamon, to finish
  • Powdered sugar, to finish
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F).
  2. Line the bottom of a 26 cm (10 inch) springform pan with parchment paper.
  3. Butter the paper and the sides of the pan.
  4. Peel, halve and core your apples, then chop them into medium-sized chunks. Pile the cut apples directly in the prepared pan.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, beat eggs with sugar until thick and ribbons form on the surface of the beaten eggs.
  6. Beat in vanilla, then stir in flour with a spoon until just combined. Batter will be very thick.
  7. Spread the batter and press it down with spoon or spatula into the apples. The top of the batter should end up level with the top of the apples. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out free of batter.
  8. Cool in pan for 10 minutes on rack, then flip out onto another rack, peel off the parchment paper, and flip it back onto a serving platter. Dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
  9. Serve warm or cooled, dusted with powdered sugar and enjoy!

Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days cr Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days creating, doing what I love and sharing the same energy and passion with its author @andreapisac has been one of the highlights of this otherwise very difficult year for me. Very grateful that life sometimes when you are at low point sends you people who lift you up and inspire you. 
Beautiful and meaningful connections are such a wonderful thing…❤️ #cookbook #croatiandesserts

Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls of sweetness are a true Dalmatian delight, especially around All Saints’ Day. 🍬
In Split, they’re called bobići, while in Šibenik, you’ll hear favete — but whatever the name, they’re closest to the Italian fave dei morti cookies. Made from almonds, egg whites, sugar, a dash of Maraschino, and a hint of lemon zest, they’re baked to soft, golden perfection. Perfect with a cup of coffee or even a little rakija to balance the sweetness! 
This recipe will be in the upcoming cookbook written by @andreapisac and shot by me, Croatian Desserts Vol. 2, currently in the making! ✨ Stay tuned!

The unique thing about this cookbook is that each step of the process is captured in photos so there is lots of flour, powdered sugar and messy bowls on the set! Stay tuned for more! 😄

Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, m Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, my hometown, at least one morning I get up really early, before the sunrise so I can take photos while most people are still asleep. However, I don’t do it only for the photos. Also, because I love to experience those moments when the streets are still empty and quiet, it feels very peaceful and good for my soul.✨✨✨
Photos and story are on the blog now, link in my profile…
This September besides work I want to focus on fin This September besides work I want to focus on finding joy and pleasure in little ‘ordinary’ everyday things… beauty in simplicity… food that I love, coffee with friends, genuine smiles, cooler nights, fresh breeze, gentle warmth instead of heat…✨✨✨
