Ingredients
eggs 3
almond meal 230 gr. (about 2 1/2 cups)
salt a pinch
golden apples 4
mascarpone cheese (at room temp.) 250 gr.
sugar 120-150 gr. (I use less sugar)
baking powder 1 shy tbs.
vanilla extract 2 tsp.
lemon or orange zest 1
olive oil 1/4 cup
milk 1/4 cup
whipping cream (opt.)
Directions
Mascarpone at room temperature. Oven at 350 F. Grease the inside of the (10″ or 12″ ) cake ring with some butter and line the inside with parchment paper. Beat eggs with sugar and salt till they become almost white and foamy. Add the grated zest.
In another bowl stir delicately the cheese with a wooden spoon to make it soft, add a couple of spoons of the egg/sugar batter and stir, add the rest of the eggs and stir till it becomes homogeneous. Sift flour and baking powder and add to batter, add oil, milk and extract.
Peel and cut the apples in small cubes and add to the bowl. Pour the batter into the ring, place it in the hot oven for about an hour or till a toothpick will come out dry from it. Remove it from the oven and let it cool before removing it from the ring.
Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice-cream or just as is. : )
