Ingredients



For the sponge cake
1 Eggless Chocolate Sponge Cake.

For the filling
4 to 5 dessert apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 tsp cinnamon (dalchini) powder
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp rum (optional)

To be mixed into a soaking syrup
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup water

For the topping
8 tbsp walnut praline
1 1/2 cups whipped cream

Method

    For the filling
    1. Cook the apples in a saucepan with the cinnamon, sugar and 2 tablespoons of water to form a thick puree. Cool.
    2. Add the rum.

    How to proceed
    1. Slice the sponge cake horizontally into two layers.
    2. Soak the layers with the soaking syrup.
    3. Sandwich together both the layers of the cake with the apple puree.
    4. Spread the whipped cream evenly on the top and sides.
    5. Sprinkle the crushed praline over it.

    Tips
    1. Always use a stainless steel blade to cut apples and bananas as iron blades blacken the fruit.
    2. Sprinkle a little lemon juice on the apple slices to prevent discoloration.
    3. Variation : Coffee Apple Gateau : (Picture Above)
    4. You can add coffee powder to the whipped cream.
