I am from Germany and let me tell you we do not use shortening but margarine or butter. Why don't you use a spring form? Sure is an interesting recipe and the end result looks good. But how many oz. or gramm is the butter. Not every country had butter sticks with the measurements on the wrapping. Very nice video, thank you!
Hi Connie, this is my sister-in-law's recipe. I wanted to stick to it exactly the way she did it. She grew up in Germany and still living there. It's 169 grams of butter. Thank you for your kind words! Here is the link to the recipe. www.paulaq.com/apple_or_apfel_cakegermanappleapfelcake.html
I made this, today following your video here, and it came out yummy and great!! Thank you much for the recipe and step by step video.. God Bless you...
Usually butter and sugar gets bitten together until white and fluffy on very high speed and only then you add eggs one by one. Then siffted flour and baking powder added to wet ingredients. I am sure it is still a delishious cake, enjoy !☺
@@GuamMamaCooks You know what, this cake is terrific. I made it today with my daughter and we both loved it. The pecans worked out great. I love the mix of apples and nuts (which toasted beautifully as during baking). My daughter hates nuts in cake, but something magical happens when you combine the nuts and apples.This one is a keeper :) We added more sugar and vanilla as a personal preference. I can’t believe this was originally posted years ago lol.
Looks good, I too would love to see it sliced. Also, you would probably get a better result by dicing the apples and possibly mixing some in the batter.
This is the perfect example of a great RUclips tutorial. Good lighting, cinematography,and clear easy directions without a bunch of nonsense added in making the video longer than it needs to be. Great job! I will try this recipe :)
Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely recipe. I've made it several times and I really love it. I also tried replacing the walnuts with almonds and the cake turned out really great! 😁. Thanks
Nora, thank you too for coming back to let us know. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I love this cake as well. It's awesome you experimented and enjoyed the new result!
Hey dear.. I made the cake today for my husband's birthday and it came out so yummy and Beautiful.. just had one question.. should I keep it in refrigerator? And for how long it stays in good state?
Hi Nadia, I added 3/4 cups (1 1/2 sticks of butter or 169 grams). Here is the link to the printable recipe. Enjoy! www.paulaq.com/apple_or_apfel_cakegermanappleapfelcake.html
+Irene Lim Hi Irene, in most recipes for baked goods, the butter and sugar are creamed together first..so I suppose you could. However, I've never had a problem following this recipe from my sister-in-law, exactly as she always makes the apple cake.
Hafa Adai Nadia! I used 1 1/2 sticks of butter (equal to 3/4 cups or 170 grams). I apologize for the confusion! Here is link to recipe: www.paulaq.com/apple_or_apfel_cakegermanappleapfelcake.html
You never put the used flour back in the container after it came in contact with the shortening . It is contaminated ! Cross contamination is serious !
I would add cinnamon on top of the apples, before adding the top layer of batter, and cinnamon on the top of that layer. I am ready to make an apple cake. Very nice.
I wouldn't soak the apples vitamin C is water soluble. You can just sprinkle lemon juice on the apples in a bowl. I always use less sugar in recipes so it was welcoming to find yours. Thanks for recipe.
It rises a little bit due to the teaspoon of baking powder. It's a little dense and a little heavy, but it's deliciously different cake compared to the norm. It's reminiscent of pastries in a German bakery.
Cel, the recipe is linked in the upper corner of the video, in circle with the "i" in the middle, but can be hard to notice. Here is the link as well. I apologize for any inconvenience!! www.paulaq.com/apple_or_apfel_cakegermanappleapfelcake.html
I would think so....but use a pan that you know for certain releases the cake very well. Liberally grease and flour the pan. I use shortening and flour.
Omitting nuts will not affect the texture. But keep in mind this is not a very sweet cake, delish though...and should be eaten the next day due to its lower sugar/fat content.
looks so delicious ... could you plz tell me where i can find the recipe or can you plz tell me the german recipe in gramms (we dont have here cups) thanks in advance ... greetings from germany
Hi! I would really love to try this cake, but I want to know one thing first. Was your oven on from the bottom only, or the bottom and top? I asked because the cake is beautifully brown.
I thought sure you would cut it to show us what it look like inside. Will you please in the future let us see what it look like. Or at least let us know you won't be cutting it. The cake did look very good. I plan to make it. Thanks Paula
The recipe works perfectly well but works much better if you substitute sultanas for the walnuts and add a generous teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the flour.
This was a half cup chopped walnuts. The link for the recipe is above and below the video. Here it is as well: www.paulaq.com/apple_or_apfel_cakegermanappleapfelcake.html
Hi Mary, I'm sorry! I'm a pastry chef at heart so I can't even imagine. I lived in Germany for a few years and had to order so many things to get shipped there. Have a good day!!
Looks wonderful. I would cook it tonight but have lemons needing to be used asap so will have to wait for awhile but so wanting to have it now. Why didn't you cut the cake to show how it looked inside. Isn't that a mandoratory thing to do. Thank you for this wonderful recipe
Hafa Adai Meme! Thanks for stopping by and giving my recipe a shot. This video was made a long time ago (2009), and initially just for my own website. I needed a still photo and didn't want to cut into the cake. These days, yes, most viewers expect a cake to be cut into. Enjoy the cake!!
Hi Pilar. I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm not sure what the problem was. Here's the link. I hope this helps: www.paulaq.com/apple_or_apfel_cakegermanappleapfelcake.html
@@MarilynT: Thank you for your comment. It makes me wonder why some people refuse to accept scientific fact and proof about germs, bacteria, and contamination. Hate to brag, but I do have a Bachelor Degree in the field of Food Science, worked for Government Hospital, in supervision. Now retired. Again, thank you, take care.
I love that it’s not a lot of sugar added. Too much sweet is no good for me. I wish you had cut a slice for us though so we could see the texture but good job. I’m definitely gonna try making it
The order in which ingredients are added just, intuitively, feels messy and courting difficulty. Also, the amount of Crisco for coating the pan -- damn!
Sorry for the late reply! I'm still getting used to this new Google+ system. I suppose you can try this with granny smiths. It will be more tart....I would only add about 3 to 4 more tablespoons more sugar though.
Hi Geneve, I would try the original method that way it turns out the way it should. Using melted butter tends to change the end result. After you've made it once go ahead and try melted butter...then you can compare which you prefer.
I tried this recipe yesterday. I did mix a cinnamon mixture for apples because I was not sure how tart it would be. It was delicious. I found it not light as cakes that I usually make yet not hard but of a heavier texture. Is this the way it is supposed to come out, more on the heavy side? I also found that it was crispier when taken out of the oven than the next day. Is this how it is supposed to be? I bought walnut pieces. I am not sure if the pieces should be small. I chopped them a bit. Thanks.
Most people use salted butter anyway, cinnamon is very over used in the USA, it kills the palate tastebuds. I was French trained, they rarely use cinn.
jonesgerard You can never “over use” cinnamon in a recipe with apples! It’s hilarious that you think being French trained somehow makes you an authority on cooking! Not so at all !
jonesgerard its a German recipe 😊 Just for info purposes - that which cinnamon kills, is Candida! 😊😊 Desperately needed with all the sugar ingestion, Stateside;);) ...if it’s actually real cinnamon, that is. Mostly it’s a substitute

How much butter and sugar did you add
Hi Nadia, I added 3/4 cups (1 1/2 sticks of butter or 169 grams). Here is the link to the printable recipe. Enjoy! www.paulaq.com/apple_or_apfel_cakegermanappleapfelcake.html
How much is 3 quarter cup buter in stick! 1 and 3 quarter cup? Can u tell in other way the measurement coz I didn't understand
Hafa Adai, 3/4 cup of butter is 1.5 sticks.
Looks great and simple to make (hopefully). But, always curious to see a piece cut and what it looks like inside! That shows the final product!
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I have since learned that I should always show/cut a slice. :-)
Hi paula, can we beat the butter and sugar than add in the eggs?
+Irene Lim Hi Irene, in most recipes for baked goods, the butter and sugar are creamed together first..so I suppose you could. However, I've never had a problem following this recipe from my sister-in-law, exactly as she always makes the apple cake.

Great idea!
That looks delicious. I have to try to make it
Hi Joanne! It's a simple cake, reminiscent of basic German treats that are not as sweet as what we are used to in the States.
Looks great , but : I was waiting to see how a sice looks like .

I wouldn't soak the apples vitamin C is water soluble. You can just sprinkle lemon juice on the apples in a bowl. I always use less sugar in recipes so it was welcoming to find yours. Thanks for recipe.
salted water will do the same job; strain and use/pack for a picnic/lunch; hope it helps
How it didn't rise??!!! It looks very heavy. Thank you for sharing.
It rises a little bit due to the teaspoon of baking powder. It's a little dense and a little heavy, but it's deliciously different cake compared to the norm. It's reminiscent of pastries in a German bakery.
A Excellent Video.. Highly Recommended.. Thank You Very Much For Sharing...
Thanks for low sugar. What type of apples, pkease
Fiji or Gala do very well in this cake.
What kind of flour do you use?
Name-brand all-purpose flour....King Arthur is what I use. General Mills will be fine too. Thanks for stopping by!!
@@GuamMamaCooks Thank you very much for replying so superfast, very much appreciated.
always cut a slice off in baking videos ...
what so we can see the disaster?
@@yoya4766 There's a pessimist in every crowd....
Hi I find your apple yum. I would just like to know what s ingredients you chop I don't get it.

walnuts are important or can be omitted
(: If people are allergic to them, then of course, you have tp leave them out!!!!!
I was wondering could you do this in a bundt cake pan as well?
I would think so....but use a pan that you know for certain releases the cake very well. Liberally grease and flour the pan. I use shortening and flour.
It looks so yummy I can't wait to try it! Thanks
If I'm making this for a bake sale and thus cannot use nuts, will omitting the walnuts in any way affect the texture of the cake?
Omitting nuts will not affect the texture. But keep in mind this is not a very sweet cake, delish though...and should be eaten the next day due to its lower sugar/fat content.

You have laptop, iPad? google Cups into Grams and THERE You go! problem solved!

Hope you enjoy
Hi!
I would really love to try this cake, but I want to know one thing first. Was your oven on from the bottom only, or the bottom and top? I asked because the cake is beautifully brown.
OK
I can't eat all that Crisco, I'm sure it would be ok to use a silicon pie pan- right??
Yes.
What is all purpose flour? Do you mean plain flour?
Yes, normal baking flour.
Agree with everyone else.. Please slice it in future as it really does finish it of when watching. Otherwise Great Video. Thanks Paula
I thought sure you would cut it to show us what it look like inside. Will you please in the future let us see what it look like. Or at least let us know you won't be cutting it. The cake did look very good. I plan to make it. Thanks Paula
The recipe works perfectly well but works much better if you substitute sultanas for the walnuts and add a generous teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the flour.
Thank you, Warren! I'll try your suggestions the next time I make this cake.
Wht did u u put chopped half cup
This was a half cup chopped walnuts. The link for the recipe is above and below the video. Here it is as well: www.paulaq.com/apple_or_apfel_cakegermanappleapfelcake.html
Yes, a slice would be nice. I wish we could have seen how it looked as it was cut.
I would like a repeat of the recipe for the German. Apple cake please please
I like your spatula in GB we do not have good ones like you lot in US. That 📝 we do not have or good baking tins . Thanks
Hi Mary, I'm sorry! I'm a pastry chef at heart so I can't even imagine. I lived in Germany for a few years and had to order so many things to get shipped there. Have a good day!!

Can u use blueberries instead of apples
Hi Carmel, I've never tried blueberries in this recipe, but I suppose they could work....along the lines that blueberry muffins are yummy!
Look very delicious
It look like so délicious....! but i don't understand all thing. shoud it weel possible to have it in french??? Thank you very much....
That looks good.
Why didn't you cut a piece? We would like to see what it looks like inside
It looks Yummy, Ceps92. I would of love to see what the inside of the Cake looks. :)
It looks like a. Normal sponge cake but the top where the apple sits u can see that but only on top.
what must I do to get the Apfel cake recipe?

how many inch is the cake pan?
Hi Mei Wei, the round pan is 8 inches in diameter, two inches high, with straight sides.
I bet that cake would be good with pears, too. 🙂
Sounds good!!
In the UK we have self raising flour and plain flour the raising agent is incorporated into the self raising flour already.
duh! we have it in the US too!

It is a nice, simple cake...very much like many Germany-style desserts.
No cinnamon or sugar mixed with appkes?
No
NO!!! You don't pour the used flour back into the flour bag. It's contaminated. And why would use shortening instead of real butter to make the cake?

Geneve, cutting into it would have been great...except then I wouldn't have been able to take the picture....next time!
you didn't cut the cake i needed to see it from eht inside
(--)
Yes we want to see want the cake looks like 😮
I’ve made this a couple of times. You gotta add lots of apples or it will be very dry. I also added 1/4 c. more butter.
You should show us how it looks inside....I mean.... to cut a slice....so we can see it....
Yes, thank you! Now I know how important that slice is. :-)
The order in which ingredients are added just, intuitively, feels messy and courting difficulty. Also, the amount of Crisco for coating the pan -- damn!
It is different, however I've made this recipe the traditional way....and it's just not as good.
I use wax paper to spread the crisco on the pan.
looks great
where to get the recipe?
I am deaf can't hear.
Help! Can I use granny smith apples? I have a bag full of them! If I do, should I use more sugar?
Sorry for the late reply! I'm still getting used to this new Google+ system. I suppose you can try this with granny smiths. It will be more tart....I would only add about 3 to 4 more tablespoons more sugar though.
Did you drain the apples? From that bowl of ice water?
Yes
You think I could just melt the butter and add it to the eggs and sugar instead of mixing it in
Hi Geneve, I would try the original method that way it turns out the way it should. Using melted butter tends to change the end result. After you've made it once go ahead and try melted butter...then you can compare which you prefer.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You should beat sugar and butter first then egg
I know right, but it's really good this original way from my sister-in-law.
Very easy
What about the sugar or did I miss it?
sugar was the second ingredient. it was mixed with the eggs in the very beginning
Great
