Omenakakku – Mini Finnish Apple Cakes

This Finnish version of apple cake doesn’t seem to be too different from a standard cake, maybe apart from the sour cream, but it certainly is a delicious treat and this particular recipe is now next to my Pulla recipe for sweet treat recipes to have on hand.

Overall, this isn’t an overly sweet dessert and the texture is soft, moist and dense without being too heavy.

INGREDIENTS

150g white sugar

100g butter, softened

1 egg, beaten

200g plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

150g sour cream

Apple topping:

5 apples, peeled and thinly sliced

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

Method

Pre heat oven to 170°C/335°F

Whisk together the butter and sugar in a large bowl till light and fluffy.
