Nonna’s secret apple cake - TORTA di MELE 😋

‘Torta di mele’, as apple cake is traditionally called in Italy, is a classic rustic Italian cake - a speciality of Italian grandmas, who all have their own recipe and will not tell you their secret ingredient.
Well we can here reveal that the secret ingredient is LOVE 💛
INGREDIENTS:
• 1kg | 35.27oz Fiji or Golden Delicious apples
• 2 eggs
• 2 lemons
• 200g | 07.1oz sugar
• 200g | 07.1oz plain flour
• 100g | 03.5oz unsalted butter
• 200ml | 7.04fl oz whole milk
• 16g | 00.6oz baking yeast powder
• 2g | 00.1oz cinnamon
• sea salt
• icing sugar for decoration
STEP by STEP:
1. Grate the zest of one lemon and squeeze the juice of two.
2. Melt the butter and set aside to cool down.
3. Sieve the plain flour and the yeast powder and mix them together.
4. Peel and slice the apples, then bathe them in the lemon juice topped up with water to cover.
5. Incorporate 2 eggs with half of the sugar and a pinch of sea salt, then whisk them thoroughly. Add the rest of the sugar and whisk again until the mix looks velvety and fluffier.
6. Add cool melted butter, lemon zest and cinnamon powder and whisk once more.
7. Keep whisking to incorporate little by little the flour-yeast mix, and then the milk still little by little and on a lower whisking power.
8. Fold in the well-drained apple slices, making sure to keep some aside for decoration.
9. Butter the baking tray (26 cm | 39''), dust it with flour and pour in the mixture.
10. Decorate with apple slices on the top and bake for 50 mins at 180°C | 356°F.
11. Let it cool down and dust with icing sugar… then enjoy! 😋

This looks delicious. Thanks for sharing and including the time and temperature as well as the ingredients in the drop down menu. I learned a similar cake when l lived in Italy but my recipe has no lemon or cinnamon so l'm definitely tempted to try yours. 😊 To everyone confused by "yeast powder" - it's a literal translation of "lievito in polvere" but, it's intended as Baking Powder.

@@italianfoodharmony Ciao di Monaco di Baviera 🙋🏻‍♀ I'd love to bake this cake or any cake but I'm spending most of my day in a sickbed. My body won't obey my wishes anymore. No cake for me but that's okay. I've been cooking and baking for 50+ years and I still enjoy watching a good video where the cook/baker really knows what they are doing. Your video is one of those. Such a joy watching. I could almost smell the lemon, the apples, the cinnamon and the cake looks soooo delicious. Thank you for giving me this joy. Best wishes to Bella Italia ❤ Lisa

baking powder used to make flour rise. not yea st

[@italianfoodharmony]

Yes you're absolutely right!!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ 🇮🇹 🍅

[@Alekfendi]

In italian baking powder = lievito = yeast

[@radharaghunath3395]

If it's baking powder, can I use self-raising flour? Recipe seems interesting. I would like to try once I get clarified. I have not seen baking yeast powder, only dry or instant yeast.

[@italianfoodharmony]

Hi, you can use simple baking powder 😊 🇮🇹 🍅

[@datahoundhunter]

They say yeast powder they mean baking powder. It turned out OK but they should say baking powder. Additional comments. I used one package of yeast and it actually made it taste like a apple pie. Don't mix the yeast in and let it rise too much. Just mix it in. Proceed with the other parts of the recipe. I'm glad I did this with the yeast. More pie like.....less cake like. And that's a good thing.

[@user-nb5jn2ju3w]

is it baking powder or baking soda? I never understood the difference 😅

[@italianfoodharmony]

Awww you tried our recipe! 😍 thanks for the edit, you are correct! 🙏 🇮🇹 🍅

@@italianfoodharmony I made this yesterday. I did use yeast and let it rise slightly before incorporating the other ingredients. it was reminiscent of apple pie in some ways.. turned out well… thank you

Is baking powder the same as baking yeast powder? In a pie or cake i don't think you'd use actually yeast which I use for bread.
