Invisible Apple Cake

Published 7 days ago • 1 min read

Here's my grain-free take on invisible apple cake, or gâteau invisible aux pommes. The original recipe went viral after appearing on a French food blog. I just recently discovered it and realized it would make a great grain-free cake.

It's simple to make, moist, light, and tender, and has a custard texture. The thin slices of apple are held together with a small amount of cake batter and as the cake bakes they seem to "disappear" into it, hence the name.

I've been eating this cake on repeat and I'm now at the stage where I want to add a topping of sliced almonds, and add a wee bit of cognac to the batter before baking. I think it will make a lovely holiday cake as well. Let me know if you try it.

Wishing you a great week ahead!

Warmly,

Erica

Cookbooks | Recipes | Videos Pumpkin Bread {coconut flour} An oversight was quickly fixed. I now have a pumpkin bread recipe using just coconut flour.

Cookbooks | Recipes | Videos Pumpkin Blondies This week I did some retesting of my Pumpkin Blondies recipe after a few folks mentioned that their batter was on the runny side. I tested with less pumpkin, less sweetener, and I have to say I prefer the original recipe. I also use almond butter with no added oil that tends to be on the thick side. All that said, if you want to thicken the batter, reduce the sweetener, or both, I've added all my tips to the recipe notes. FREE Guide. If you've...
