This cake works on a completely different principle than most cakes you’ve probably made before. There’s no flour, no baking powder, no baking soda — none of the usual chemical lift. Instead, the entire structure comes from one technique: whipped egg whites. Beaten properly, egg whites trap air and turn […]
This cake is built around a simple, layered idea: soft, buttery batter alternating with thin slices of fresh apple, baked until the top turns golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
