Apple Pie's Enchanting Quality: Exploring the Reasons Behind Its Compulsive Consumption
In the world of baking, a new delight has emerged that beautifully combines the sweetness of apples with the exotic aroma of cardamom. This recipe, crafted for a 26 cm springform pan, presents an apple-cardamom cake that is sure to tantalize your taste buds.
Cardamom, a spice with a rich history, is the star ingredient in this culinary creation. Originating from tropical regions, the dried seed capsules of the cardamom plant have been used for centuries in Ayurveda for digestive disorders and respiratory diseases. In modern times, it is renowned for its digestive and antioxidant properties, making it a popular choice in naturopathy.
The spice, which pairs particularly well with apple cake, has a taste that is sweetly sharp and floral. It is not surprising that it goes well with both sweet and savory dishes, as well as various coffee and tea drinks. In Germany, green cardamom is the variety most commonly used, available as seeds or ground.
Interestingly, cardamom was once a luxury reserved for the Mughal emperors of India, being used exclusively in their palaces. Today, it enhances both sweet and savory dishes worldwide, making its way into the apple-cardamom cake recipe we are about to explore.
To create this delectable treat, you will need soft butter, birch sugar or honey, vanilla sugar, eggs, whole spelt flour, baking powder, apples, cinnamon, ground cardamom, and lemon juice. The combination of these ingredients results in a cake that is moist, aromatic, and bursting with apple flavour, complemented by the unique taste of cardamom.
When using ground cardamom, it is essential to remember that it loses its aroma quickly. Therefore, if you choose to buy it pre-ground, be sure to use it promptly to fully enjoy its flavour.
So, let's embark on this culinary adventure and unite the flavours of the East with the comfort of a classic apple cake. Happy baking!
