Invisible Apple Loaf Cake

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

This Gâteau Invisible aux Pommes — the famous French “invisible apple cake” — is my new obsession for the Yom Tov table. Layers of paper-thin apples melt into each other with just the faintest whisper of batter, baking up into a loaf that slices like a dream.

It’s elegant enough to serve to all your guests, light enough to follow a heavy meal, and honestly feels like the chic Parisian cousin of our holiday desserts. ✨

Perfect for when you want a showstopper that’s secretly simple.

Ingredients

Scale

RECIPE: 

2 lbs Honey Crisp apples, sliced thin (was about 5 large apples) 

 For the wet ingredient:

3 large eggs

2 tbsp. Oil

1/2 cup nut milk or oat milk 

1 heaping tsp. Vanilla extract 

2/3 cup sugar 

For the Dry Ingredients:

1 cup flour 

1 tsp. Baking powder 

Pinch salt 

1 tsp. Cinnamon 

1 tsp. Pumpkin spice blend 

Instructions

Once you have all your apples thinly sliced, set them aside.

Whisk together your wet batter, slowly adding your sugar till the batter is frothy. 

In a separate bowl mix together your dry ingredients and then slowly add to your wet batter as you whisk it well and keep it light and frothy. 

Then add your apples into the combined batter and let them really soak and mix in with the batter. 

Line your loaf pan with parchment paper, and add your battered apples layer by layer into the pan, pressing down as you go. 

Pour any left over batter on top of the slices once you’re done filling the pan. 

Bake on 350F for 50-55 minutes

Let cool completely in fridge.

Garnish with powdered sugar
