Irish Apple Cake is a traditional Irish specialty, apples being widely used in Ireland. In the past, this rustic cake was prepared directly on the open fires of the chimneys, emitting a delicious odor in Irish households. Even today, this dessert remains a great classic, particularly appreciated during Saint-Patrick or simply to taste it.
This cake highlights apples , a fruit that occupies an important place in Ireland and has been cultivated for centuries. The crust of the cake is slightly crisp but it keeps a melting interior, which must still be well cooked (remember to check the cooking with the tip of a knife).
In this 100 % gluten -free , I use a mixture of rice flour and almond powder to keep an aerial texture. The final touch? A thin layer of sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top before cooking, which caramelizes slightly for an even more greedy result.
You can serve it lukewarm with a homemade custard , a whipped cream or simply natural. The Irish Apple Cake is a recipe to test absolutely for a gourmet break from the Celtic airs! 🍏🍀
