By dahlia gita cindy Post a Comment

 Golden autumn afternoons call for something a little special, and this elegant dessert delivers charm in every slice. The French Apple Invisible Cake is a celebration of simplicity, where thinly sliced apples melt into a soft, custardy batter as it bakes. The result is a cake so delicate it almost disappears on the tongue—hence the name. Light, creamy, and subtly sweet, this classic French Apple Cake feels refined yet wonderfully comforting.

Unlike traditional Apple Cake Recipes that rely on lots of batter, this Invisible Apple Cake Recipe lets the apples shine. Each slice reveals beautiful layers of fruit, gently held together by a vanilla-scented custard and finished with toasted almonds and a snowy dusting of powdered sugar. It’s the kind of dessert that looks bakery-worthy but is surprisingly easy to make at home—a true Recette Patisserie Facile anyone can master.

French Apple Invisible Cake Recipe | Elegant Apple Desserts for Fall Baking

Ingredients

  • 6 medium apples, firm and crisp (Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp work beautifully)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A small pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds, for topping
  • Powdered sugar, for finishing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them as thinly as possible. A mandoline slicer works best for even slices. Transfer the apples to a large bowl and set aside.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs with both the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture looks pale and slightly airy.
  3. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking gently until the batter becomes smooth and lump-free.
  5. Carefully add the sliced apples to the batter, folding gently to coat every slice. The mixture will be very loose, with just enough batter to hold the apples together.
  6. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or square baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  7. Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared pan, lightly pressing to create compact, even layers.
  8. Scatter the sliced almonds over the top.
  9. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the cake is golden and set in the center.
  10. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before cutting. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Thin, uniform apple slices help create the signature layered texture of this cake.
  • Cooling the cake fully is essential for clean slices and proper structure.
  • Mixing different apple varieties can add depth and complexity to the flavor.
