The BEST Cinnamon Swirl Apple Cake😏🍎

You can find the full recipe here, in the description OR on my website: stellkascorner.com ⬇️FULL RECIPE⬇️ 🛒WHAT YOU NEED🛒 CAKE BASE 3 eggs 180g powdered sugar 150ml oil 280g shredded apples (about 2-3 apples) 75g ground walnuts (or other nuts) 190g all-purpose flour ¾ tsp cinnamon pinch of nutmeg ¾ tsp baking soda pinch of salt MASCARPONE CREAM 200g mascarpone 170ml cold heavy cream 1 ½ tbsp powdered sugar vanilla extract (optional) TOPPING caramel, for drizzling crushed walnuts METHOD 1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Whip the Base: With a mixer, beat the eggs and powdered sugar until pale and fluffy, 4-5 minutes. 2. Peel and shred the apples (large holes on the grater). Add to the batter with oil and ground walnuts. Mix with a spatula until combined. 3. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Fold in until just combined. 4. Grease pan with butter and flour (or line with parchment). Pour in batter and spread evenly. I used a 33x25cm pan. 5. Bake for 25-35 minutes. Let the cake cool completely before frosting. Stellka's Tip: Use the toothpick test — insert a toothpick into the center, and if it comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs), it's done. 6. Whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks, adding powdered sugar halfway through. Mix in mascarpone (and vanilla if using) for a few seconds, until just combined. Spread cream over the COOLED cake, drizzle with caramel, and top with crushed walnuts. Enjoy! 😉
