👨🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Prep the Apples
✅ Peel and core two medium apples, then chop into small cubes.
💡 Use slightly sweet apples like Golden or Gala for best results — they blend smoother and add natural sweetness.
Step 2: Blend the Apples
✅ Transfer the apple cubes into a blender and process until completely smooth.
💡 If the mix is too thick, pulse a few times and scrape down the sides for a creamy texture.
Step 3: Whisk the Eggs
✅ In a bowl, crack two eggs and add 1 tsp vanilla sugar. Whisk until lightly frothy.
💡 Room-temperature eggs blend better and give a fluffier texture.
Step 4: Combine with Apples
✅ Pour the egg mixture into the blender with the apple purée. Blend briefly to combine.
💡 Just a few pulses are enough — don’t overmix after adding the eggs.
Step 5: Add the Cacao Powder
✅ Add 100 g (¾ cup) of unsweetened cacao powder into the blender. Blend until thick and smooth.
💡 Use high-quality cacao for a deeper chocolate flavour.
Step 6: Preheat the Oven
✅ Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
💡 Start preheating early — the mixture goes into the oven immediately after pouring.
Step 7: Prep the Baking Mould
✅ Use a silicone mould or line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
💡 Silicone is best — it keeps the texture moist and helps unmould easily.
Step 8: Fill and Smooth
✅ Pour the chocolate mixture evenly into the mould, smoothing the top with a spatula.
💡 Tap the mould gently to remove air bubbles and level the surface.
Step 9: Bake to Perfection
✅ Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
💡 Insert a toothpick — it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Step 10: Cool and Slice
✅ Let the cake cool in the mould before slicing into pieces. Serve warm or chilled.
💡 For clean cuts, chill it for 1 hour before slicing — it firms up beautifully.
