I am one of the people who really likes sweets and especially cakes and cake. When I was still a 10-year-old girl, I loved baking cakes and cooking with my mom. She already had a whole collection of recipe books back then. One of them is especially dear to me and I still have it today because she only has simple cake recipes.At some point my scale broke down and I needed a recipe that was not for weighing. So I peeked into the book and found a perfect, simple recipe for cakes without weighing. Apart from the fact that no scales are needed, we can add any fruit from all nuts and everything else, apples, cherries, strawberries, cherries, peaches, apricots, pears, forest fruits ... with one recipe we can bake a different cake every day depending on of what you love.This cake has another advantage. If you don't have an oven, you can bake it in a bread maker, as I do. And now I will share with you a recipe in which I add apples and cinnamon because now is apple season and I have them in abundance in the garden.

Use two of the same cups, one for wet ingredients, one for dry ingredients.

1 egg

a cup of sugar

1 vanilla sugar

1/2 cup oil (sunflower)

1 cup plain yogurt or milk

2 cups flour

1 baking powder

3 medium-sized apples

3 tablespoons cinnamon

2 tablespoons sugar

PREPARATION FOR BAKING IN THE OVEN :

1.In one bowl add egg,oil, sugar, vanilla sugar. Mix everything well with a mixer or mix by hand with a whisk. Add milk. Mix the baking powder into the flour and gradually add to the mixture.

2. After you have mixed the mixture well, prepare the apples. In another bowl, grate the apples, add the cinnamon and sugar and mix everything together well. Pour the excess liquid (apple juice) out of the bowl.

Baking procedure in the oven:

You can put greaseproof paper in the baking dish or spread margarine on the pan without using greaseproof paper. Add the mixture to the bowl. Arrange the apples on the mixture. Let them fall into the mixture on their own. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees. Bake for 15 - 30 min. Make sure the dough is baked by sticking a toothpick into the cake. When the cake is baked, sprinkle it with powdered sugar, cut as desired and serve.

:BAKING PROCEDURE IN A BREAD BAKER :

Tune the pan to a quick baking process that lasts approximately 2 hours. First add the liquid ingredients and egg to the baking pan, then the sugar, vanilla sugar, flour and finally the baking powder. When the pan mixes the mixture, add the apples inside and let it bake. After the cake is baked, take it out, sugar it with powdered sugar (optional) and serve sliced ​​as desired.

A HINGE THAT YOUR MOTHER WOULD TELL YOU

You can bake a it as well with a dark buckwheat flour and without a use of a white flour, but you have to watch out at the process. So when you put all the wheat in the machine and the baking machine comes to about a middle of cooking, open quickly the door and pure a bit of water on it, just a few drops, best spread with a sprinkler or same wise, so drops are as tiny as they can be. Catching the correct time is the thing that matters the most, and as said, it can be done without adding any other flour than the buckwheat one, the correct timing is all you need, but adding a bit of chocolate helps as well, since it will hold your cake together when chocolate will melt, using as well some other ingredients that melt fine isn't a bad Idea. If you want to achieve chocolate biscuit all the way you need to add chocolate already at the beginning, before cake goes into the baker, but I would clearly Add that adding chocolate later on, so pieces are felt when eaten is a plus, that you should not miss, but in order to achieve that, again, the Correct Timing is the Key to success!

That's all from me, I wish you a sweet day !
