APPLE MERINGUE CAKE
adapted from :   homecookingadventure.com



Cake Batter :

113  gm  butter, room temperature
3/4  cup  sugar  (150 gm)
4  egg  yolks  (I use grade A)
1/4  cup  sour cream  (60 gm)  (I use buttermilk)
Grated zest from 1 lemon
1  tsp  vanilla extract
2 1/2  tsp  baking powder  (10 gm)
1/4  tsp  salt
2  cups  flour  (250 gm)


Apple Filling :

4-5  medium  apples, peeled and sliced  (I use 4 Granny Smith apples)
Juice from half of lemon
1  tsp  ground cinnamon
4  tbsp  flour  (30 gm)


Meringue :

4  egg  whites  (Grade A)
3/4  cup  sugar  (150 gm)


Directions :

1.  Preheat oven to 350'F/180'C.  Butter 10-inch/26 cm springform pan (with a removable base).

2.  Prepare the apples.  In a large bowl combine the apple slices with lemon juice, ground cinnamon and 4 tablespoons flour.  Set aside until ready to use.

3.  Prepare the cake batter.  Combine flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl.

4.  In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until well mixed.  Beat in the egg yolks, sour cream, lemon zest and vanilla extract.  Stir in flour mixture and mix until well combined.

5.  Pour the batter into the prepared pan and arrange the apple slices on top.  Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.

6.  Meanwhile, prepare the meringue.  Whip the egg whites until foamy with an electric mixer.  Gradually add the sugar, whipping the whole time until it holds very stiff peaks.

7.  Remove the pan from the oven and add whipped egg whites on top of the cake and bake for another 20 minutes until golden brown.  Run a sharp knife completely around the inside edge of the pan.  Let cool slightly at room temperature before serving...
