Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (160 g) flour
- 1 egg
- 1 apple, sliced
- 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon (200 ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons oil
Sweeteners and Flavors:
- 2 tablespoons stevia sweetener + 1 tablespoon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Toppings and Extras:
- Dried raisins
- Sugar-free apricot jam
- Chopped almonds
Instructions
- Whisk the egg with vanilla sugar, salt, and stevia sweetener until the mixture becomes light and foamy, creating a smooth base for the cake.
- Prepare a nonstick skillet by sprinkling stevia sweetener evenly across the bottom, then artfully arrange apple slices and raisins to create a decorative layer.
- Gently pour the whisked batter over the fruit, ensuring complete coverage across the skillet’s surface.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat (around 300°F) for 20-25 minutes, carefully flipping the cake midway to ensure uniform cooking and prevent burning.
- Once the cake is golden and fully cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
- Spread sugar-free apricot jam across the top of the cake, creating a glossy finish.
- Sprinkle chopped almonds over the jam, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the dessert.
- Slice the skillet cake into wedges and serve warm, optionally accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Experiment with different apple varieties to discover your perfect flavor profile and texture.
- Adjust sweetness levels by playing with stevia, sugar alternatives, or natural fruit sweetness.
- Consider adding warm spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to elevate the cake’s aromatic complexity.
- Prevent cake sticking by ensuring your skillet is well-seasoned or using parchment paper as a backup.
