Jan 07, 2021
Torta rosa di mela

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 redlove apples (if you use another type remember to spray them with lemon after cutting them because they oxidize)
  • 100 g of 00 flour
  • 80 g of almond flour
  • 50 g of potato starch
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 g of icing sugar
  • 130 g soft butter
  • 100 ml of whole milk at room temperature
  • 1 sachet of baking powder
  • 1 organic lemon (grated peel)
  • a pinch of salt
  • a pinch of cinnamon

PROCEDURE

  • Beat the soft butter with the icing sugar using an electric whisk or a stand mixer fitted with whisks.
  • Add the lemon zest, salt and cinnamon.
  • Add one egg at a time, continuing to mix.
  • Sift the flour with the starch and the yeast.
  • Add to the mixture gently together with the almond flour alternating them with the milk.
  • Butter and flour the 24 cm pan or line it with baking paper.
  • Pour the mixture.
  • Peel the apples and cut them into 4 parts, removing the core. Cut the slices with the knife blade and place them in a radial pattern on the dough. If you want them to be visible after cooking, do not sink them, otherwise push them a little into the dough and once cooked you will find them in the slice of cake.
  • Thinly slice an apple and arrange the slices in the center, overlapping them to form a rose.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180° for about half an hour (do the toothpick test).
  • Once cooled, sprinkle with icing sugar if you like.
