A super simple layered apple cake using skin on (extra fibre) thinly sliced apples, tossed in a protein batter then baked. The texture is more egg custard like than a cake. I served this for breakfast but also enjoyed as a sweet treat. If not using protein powder just use flour. GF flours work 1:1. I love how this cake contains whole apples for that nutrias fibre boost. Will store in the fridge for 5 days. 157kcal & 7g protein per slice.

Instructions

Step 1

Whisk all the batter together minus the baking powder until smooth. Set to one side.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 160°c fan.

Step 3

Using a mandolin or the slicer side of a grater, core and THINLY slice the apples. They have got to be super thin for this recipe to work.

Step 4

Add the baking powder to the batter, fold through the apples and in layers, tip and press into a 2L loaf tin. Pour on the remaining batter to the top of the loaf pan and pat down.

Loaf Pan

Step 5

Bake at 160c fan for 50 minutes until golden brown (watch it doesn’t burn) and then leave to rest for 15 minutes before turning out and cooling further on a wire rack.

Step 6

Store in the fridge, then when ready to serve I like to take a slice and warm in a pan on either side until caramelised and serve with yoghurt.
