Apple, honey and walnut cake recipe
We miss (a lot) our breakfasts and snacks in Maple Sisters , the cafeteria of the same name Anna and Elena , in the Salesas neighborhood, Madrid . So to take away the craving, we have pursued them to help us recreate their pastry magic. at home.
Currently, the Arce Sisters are testing recipes that they had saved "and that we didn't have time to make," they confess. “ Croissant dough, salty cakes, bread with different cereals ... We are even using the dehydrator that we had bought and that we had not had the opportunity to use for the first time. We are trying to make onion powder although we do not know if it is the most advisable thing to do when you are at home for a long time because the smell of raw onion reaches every corner”, they joke.
Leveraging your e home experimentation , we ask you to reveal some of the recipes that make up the recipe book of biscuits, cookies and other pastries that they offer (according to the season) in their cafeteria.
“One of our favorite recipes these days is the classic Yogurt cake which we have slightly adapted and to which we added fruit, sugar and nuts above to give it a little more grace. If you don't have rye flour you can use wheat flour and it comes out good too. If you don't have a pippin apple, use the apples you have at home these days”.

WE START COOKING
1.Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
2.In a bowl mix the yogurt, olive oil, eggs, brown sugar, salt and honey and beat it all well.
3.In another bowl mix the flour with the yeast and the species if you are using any.
4.Mix the contents of the two bowls until the flour is just incorporated into the dough. It is important not to beat the cake batters too much when mixing the flour and yeast with the rest of the ingredients to get a light texture.
5. Peel and cut the apples into thin slices . Arrange them in groups in a fan shape, alternating the direction of the fan and placing the slices at a slight angle. Place the nuts in the pieces of dough that remain between the apple fans or even on top of a slice of apple, sprinkle brown sugar remaining on top and bake the cake for one hour, until the apples are golden brown and the knife you insert into the center of the cake come out clean.
We are also recommended always have in the pantry ingredients like wheat flour, butter, sugar, yeast, oil and eggs . “If you have chocolate, fruit –with 1kg of strawberries, 600g of sugar and the juice of 1 lemon you can make a jam– and flour from different cereals you can do almost anything! ”, they reiterate. In addition, they advise always opting for the season products . Asparagus is beginning to be found in the market and with it we can make a scrambled egg, a paste... or simply grill it with a little Maldon salt; or with a grilled egg and a little grated Parmesan”.
And when all this is over, rest assured that they will be waiting for you to try all this with the added value of the passion that they put into each dish they prepare. “ We will return with the usual recipes and with some of the ones we try these days but above all We will return with great desire to see the people who enjoy our food and company”.
