Disappearing Cake Recipes

INVISIBLE APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400 F. (regular bake/not fan assisted) **If your springform pan is prone to leaking (they often warp and don't form a tight seal) or if you just want to make sure there is no leaking of the thin batter, wrap the outside, bottom of the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Before you start the batter, melt the butter in saucepan or microwaveable bowl just until melted and set aside to cool while you start the batter.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until very light and fluffy ,about 3 minutes. (**Make sure the melted butter is not hot when added to the batter or it will cook the eggs and make a lumpy batter! If you feel the butter is still too warm, mix it with the cold milk to cool it further, then add to the batter.) Add the cooled, melted butter and the milk to the egg mixture and mix well to combine.
• Sift or whisk together the flour and baking powder in a bowl, then sprinkle the flour mixture over the egg mixture. Mix just until combined.
• Quarter the peeled apples and remove the core. Use a mandolin to slice each apple quarter into thin slices. Add the apple slices to the batter as you go regularly (don't wait until you've done them all or they will start to brown. Push the apples into the batter so they are covered). Reserve the last handful of apple slices to scatter on top of the batter.
• Gently stir the apples in the batter to ensure all apples are well coated. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared springform pan and then scatter the reserved apple slices randomly over-top. *Adjust any apples that may be sticking up into a someone flat surface, as apples sticking up higher have a tendency to over-brown.
• Place the springform pan on a baking sheet (in case of leaks) and bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until set. If desired, you can turn on the broiler for a minute to brown up the top of the cake.
• Remove cake from oven and leave in the pan to cool. Run knife around edges and remove outer springform pan ring. Enjoy right away, or cover and refrigerate to enjoy later. You can serve cold from the fridge or let it come to room temperature before serving. You can also re-warm slightly in the microwave, if you like.
• Enjoy slightly warm, at room temperature or cold from the fridge dusted with icing sugar, if you like, or add a dollop of creme fraiche, whipped cream or ice cream on top.

DISAPPEARING MARSHMALLOW BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
• Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butterscotch chips and butter together in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix in the melted butterscotch chips, then the flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Stir in the marshmallows and chocolate chips last. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

INVISIBLE APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Peel the apples and slice very thinly, about 2 mm thick. Please see notes above for method to slice the apples.
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8 inch by 4 inch baking loaf pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale yellow. Add the milk and melted butter and mix until smooth.
• Sift in the flour. You want to sift it in to keep the batter light. If you do not have a flour sifter, this can easily be done with a mesh strainer. Add about third of the flour into the strainer. Place strainer directly above the bowl with the batter and tap the side of the strainer against your palm, letting the flour sift through into the bowl. Repeat with remaining flour. Whisk the batter until smooth.
• Add about half the sliced apples to the batter. Do your best to separate any slices stuck together before adding. Use a rubber spatula to stir apples until they are all coated with batter. Add in remaining apples and stir and coat until all apples are thinly coated in batter.
• Spoon the apples into parchment paper-lined loaf pan. Try your best to make the apples all face the same way. Pour leftover batter over cake. Use spatula to scrape bowl to get every last bit of the leftover cake batter into your loaf pan.
• Sprinkle almonds over top of cake.
• Place loaf pan into the middle section of your oven and bake for 40 minutes. Cover top of cake lightly with a foil tent and bake another 10-20 minutes or until cake is done. To check if cake is done, stick a toothpick into the cake batter and the batter should no longer be liquid. Baking time can vary depending on the amount of apples you used and how much moisture was in the apples.
• Let cake cool to room temperature. Place into fridge to set overnight.
• Right before serving, remove cake from fridge. Top with powdered sugar. Use a sharp knife to slice cake.
