polish apple cake

A soft apple and cocoa cake that displays a lovely wave pattern when sliced. Inspired by the German cake Donauwelle, the Polish recipe calls for apples instead of cherries.

margarine ((room temperature))

sugar

eggs ((room temperature))

flour

tsp baking powder

tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

apples

Peel and slice the apples, and set aside. Don&#039;t worry if they slightly brown as they sit. This will not be a problem once the apples get cooked in the cake.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the whites to soft peaks. While mixing, add a little sugar, then set aside. 

In another bowl, cream the margarine with the rest of the sugar. Add the yolks, one at a time.

Sift the baking powder and half of the flour into the margarine mixture and fold in by hand using a spatula. Once incorporated, fold in the second half of the flour. The batter should be rather firm.

Gently fold in the egg whites making sure not to knock too much air out of them. This will make the batter runnier and fluffier.

Pour half of the batter into a 24-cm round cake pan and spread it all over the bottom, making an even layer.

Sift the cocoa powder into the rest of the batter and fold in. Spread cocoa batter all over the other batter layer in the baking pan.

Press apple slices into the batter, making sure to pierce right through both layers so that the fruits touch the bottom of the pan. 

Sprinkle the cane sugar all over the cake top.

Bake the cake at 180°C (360°F) for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Avoid testing near an apple slice as the cake might be more moist there.
