Recipe for classic apple cake with red currant jelly
Recipe for a delicious and classic apple cake.
The dish is based on the theme [ APPLE – CREAM – BREADCRUMBS ] – where chef Jesper Vollmer in the book “Two Sides of the Same Flavor” attempts to show that everyday food and guest meals can be made from the same, good ingredients. The concept is that you can get two recipes from one shopping list – one being rustic (for everyday meals) and the other upgraded (Apple Soufflé) either in preparation or presentation.
