Kilimanjaro Apple Cake – Notes
Kilimanjaro Cake is a popular cake on the internet.
The main ingredient here are roasted apples, which are combined with a cocoa sponge cake.
I decided to make my own version of this cake.
Instead of chocolate cake, I baked a delicate white sponge cake.
I layered it with two jars of Roasted Apples with a hint of orange from Stovit and finally added a snowy cap of whipped cream.
Jellies give stability to the apple filling.
You can “boost” the orange flavor of the apples and use orange jellies.
All yellow and orange, as well as clear jellies, will work great here.
How to make apple Kilimanjaro cake?
First, bake a white sponge cake, let it cool, and cut it into two layers.
You can bake the sponge cake 2-3 days in advance, wrap it in cling film, and leave it until the day you make the cake.
A rested sponge cake cuts into layers better and tears less when slicing.
Once you have the white sponge cake, make the apple filling.
Transfer the apples from the jar to a pot and heat them.
Add two jellies – just the powder (do not dissolve the jelly in water beforehand) – to the slightly hot apples.
Mix the jellies thoroughly with the apples.
Place one of the sponge cake layers into the baking pan (you can lightly moisten it with water and a little sugar).
Spread the apples over the sponge cake and cover them with the second cake layer.
Now you need to wait for the apples to set – it’s best to put the cake in the fridge for a few hours.
Before serving, decorate the cake with whipped cream.
For greater stability, I added mascarpone cheese and white chocolate :)
I hope my version of Kilimanjaro cake will appeal to you – let me know in the comments.
