Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

Separate the eggs. Combine the egg yolks, flour, baking powder, sugar, oil, and milk in a bowl and mix everything together. Peel and core 1.5 apples, remove the core, and cut into cubes. Place the diced apples in a bowl and mix with the cinnamon. Peel and grate the carrots. Add the diced apples and grated carrots to the batter and mix. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form and carefully fold into the batter. Peel and core the remaining apples, quarter them, and cut into thin slices. Line a springform pan with baking paper. Arrange the apple slices on the bottom of the pan in a shingle pattern. Pour the batter over the slices and smooth the surface. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 1 hour (use a skewer to test for doneness). Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
