By &#8220;easy&#8221; I not only mean the baking and preparation process, but also the recipe which stays instantly engraved in your memory. \u00a0Since it doesn&#8217;t require any eggs, it is very convenient too. Accidentally, this is also one of the most palatable fruit cakes I know and quite an original one, since it contains semolina and is divided into layers. The upper flaky, crunchy and buttery layer creates a very interesting contrast with the other layers softened by the apple juice produced during the baking process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This recipe has been &#8220;sleeping&#8221; for many years in my old notebook until I finally dug it out when, seeing Mr. Three-Cookies baking the hundredth semolina cake or cookie (<a href=\"http:\/\/three-cookies.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Three-Cookies<\/a> blog), I remembered a semolina apple cake I used to make many years ago. Thus, thanks to Mr. Three-Cookies, a very exceptional recipe was brought back to life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have bland apples, you can combine them with cinnamon, vanilla or whatever spice you prefer. I had very good King of the Pippins, so I decided to leave them as they are. You might also add some sugar to the grated apples if you like very sweet cakes or if your apples are sour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(This is the first recipe with several ingredients measured in cups. Somehow, for once it proved much easier, even for me. My measuring cup has 250 ml.)<\/p>\n<p><em>Preparation: 1 h 30<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1,5 kg apples (or even 2 kg if you want the fruit to dominate your cake)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1 cup semolina<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1 cup flour<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1 cup sugar<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1,5 heaped teaspoon baking powder<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>70- 100 g butter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>pinch of salt<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Peel the apples and grate them on a vegetable grater (I do this in a food processor).<\/p>\n<p>Combine the flour, the semolina, the salt, the baking powder and the sugar, stirring well with a spoon.<\/p>\n<p>Grease a baking dish (the smaller it is the higher the cake will be, the minimum diameter is 20 cm).<\/p>\n<p>Put 1\/3 of the dough mixture into the dish.<\/p>\n<p>Cover with half of the grated apples (or less, if you want to create a thinner and a thicker layer, like I did).<\/p>\n<p>Put another 1\/3 of the dough.<\/p>\n<p>Cover with the remaining apples.<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle the rest of the dough mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the top of the cake with thin butter slices, so that it covers the whole surface.<\/p>\n<p>Bake until golden.<\/p>\n<p>Serve warm or cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you know how to peel and grate apples, you know how to make this easiest eggless apple cake in the world.
