Toffee Candy and Apple Cake – Notes
My cake today, a combination of apples and sweet toffee candies, is a perfect idea for a sweet cake with coffee or tea. The toffee candies in the cake caramelize nicely – especially those pieces that are close to the edges and sides of the cake. Apple pieces provide nice moisture to the cake and help it stay fresh for a long time. In my opinion, the cake has one flaw – it disappears too quickly ;) It turns out that when baked in a loaf pan, it’s definitely too small – so you can bake two such cakes at once, or make a larger batch in a bigger pan :) And for this recipe, I was inspired by a cake found on the Olive magazine website – although I’m presenting my slightly modified version here.
What ingredients are needed to prepare the toffee candy cake?
To bake the cake (especially without cream on top), you will only need a few basic ingredients that you probably already have at home. Below are the products I used and possible substitutes.
- butter – I used extra butter with 82% fat content, you can optionally substitute it with vegetable butter or a butter mix.
- cane sugar – you can replace it with regular sugar, or powdered sugar, it can also be xylitol or erythritol.
- fudge candies – I used Wawel fudge candies, but you can use any kind; soft ones will be better, but harder ones will also work.
- apple – one large, or two smaller ones – mine weighed 200 g, and after removing the core, about 180 g – I added the apple with the skin to the cake, because it is more nutritious.
- mascarpone – this is an Italian cheese that you can get in every Lidl, Biedronka, and larger stores, but you can substitute it with quark for cheesecakes.
- caramel sauce – I used a store-bought one, but you can prepare homemade caramel sauce – you can then add a pinch of salt to it – this will give the cake a nice flavor :)
How to store toffee cake with apples?
Despite the cream, the cake can last for about two days at room temperature – as long as it’s not too hot in the apartment. It’s best to cover it with a cake dome or store it in an airtight container with a lid. If the cake is to last longer, it’s worth putting it in the refrigerator. Cake without cream can stand at room temperature for several days.
You can also freeze the toffee cake (preferably without cream) for about 3 months.
I hope that this cake with fudge candies and apples will taste as good to you and your loved ones as it does to us, and that you will gladly return to this recipe. For my part, I recommend following my Instagram profile, where you will also find my recipes, and you can easily save them for later.
