Wholegrain Oatmeal Apple Cake

Wow, this one looks so good! That's only because of that artwork I sprinkled it with. Otherwise it's just another healthier alternative to have in the morning with your tea. What a way to start a new day... It's quite dry with wet core so that gives you this balanced feeling. Just try it, you'll see.

You'll need:

  • 200g wholegrain rye flour
  • 1 cup of oatmeal (well, I use some kind of mixture of 5 types of grain but no one can tell the difference)
  • 125g room temperature butter
  • 100g dark sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbl spoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tbl spoons cinnamon
  • about 3 tablespoons of milk (depending how the batter will look like)
  • 1 packet of baking powder (mine says 12g)
  • 3 apples thinly sliced
  • icing sugar for decoration
1) You know me, just mix everything together till you have sticky batter. If it's too sticky just add more milk. You need to press it into your cake pan, not pour it. 
2) Butter your baking pan and press 1/2 of the batter on the bottom and to the sides.
3) Cover it with sliced apples.
4) Press the rest of the batter onto the apples so that they are covered - that's the tricky part since the batter is sticky but if you wet your hands I'm sure you'll manage.
5) Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes. 
6) If you are feeling artsy just make a paper stencil and sprinkle the cake with icing sugar.
