  • DIRECTIONS
    1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Grease 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan with butter, line bottom and sides with parchment paper. Grease the parchment as well.
    2. In a large bowl mix flour, semolina, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
    3. Peel the apples, grate and transfer to a bowl. Add lemon juice and stir. Set aside.
    4. Spread 1/4 of the flour mixture over the bottom of the pan, then spread 1/3 of the grated apples. Repeat this process with the reaming flour mixture and grated apples. In total: 4 flour layer and 3 apple layers.
    5. In a small bowl mix milk and melted butter. Pour milk mixture over the cake and pierce with a fork so the milk mixture will pass through the layers.
    6. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

  3. Great recipes! Better than I expected without eggs however I found the milk is better poured over each layer to avoid flour residue on the bottom layer
