How to make these apple mini loaf cakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there's a cake (mini cakes in this case) that you should make to start with, that is loaf cake.
It's basically cake baked into a loaf pan, and it's extremely simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this version, you'll find a very light<\/strong> batter (it's definitely more on the runny side rather than thick), flavoured with cardamom<\/strong> powder and vanilla<\/strong> bean paste. Final touch? Thinly sliced apple on top of each mini cake.
I love their delicate flavour so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make them, follow the classic \"wet to dry ingredients\" method:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Combine wet<\/strong>
    First mix lemon juice and milk.
    In another bowl, combine sugar and oil (it won't whip like butter and sugar, so no worries if they don't look fluffy), then add eggs, milk and vanilla paste. Stir.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Combine dry
    <\/strong>Into another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and cardamom. Roughly stir with a fork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add wet to dry
    <\/strong>Incorporating wet ingredients to the dry ones allows you to avoid<\/span><\/strong> clumps<\/span><\/strong>.
    Mix.
    Final touch: add sliced apples on top.
    Choose your favorite apples! No matter if they're slightly tangy (we're going to add some syrup on top).
    If you don't know what to pick, choose Golden Delicious.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Bake!<\/strong>
    I'va baked these for 25 minutes then brushed with some syrup (directions below), and baked for 5 more minutes. They were perfect!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    BEST PART: you can leave cardamom and apples out or substitute them for something else (I would keep the vanilla in any case).
    Or, try to use yogurt instead of milk + lemon juice.
    My advice: try yogurt and raspberries, so tasty!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Does cardamom go with vanilla? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Oh definitely! Remember in this<\/a><\/strong> post I told you I bought a book, a while ago, called The Flavor Matrix<\/a><\/em><\/strong>? That is my best friend in the kitchen right now.
    This book is \u201ca revolutionary guide to pairing ingredients, based on a famous chef\u2019s groundbreaking research into the chemical basis of flavor<\/strong>\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Both vanilla and cardamom belong to the 'terpene<\/strong>' family (\"a diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants\"<\/em>).
    The first is considered a 'smoke<\/strong>' flavour (these flavours often originate from wood), the latter 'spice<\/strong>' (no explanation needed).
    And they go amazing together.
    Fascinating, uh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    What fruit goes with cardamom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    So, maybe you want to try to use another kind of fruit, instead of apples.
    Just know that if you substitute them with pears<\/strong>, these loaf cakes will be amazing.
    And no wonder they work with cardamom too, apples and pears (and quince) are from the same family, they're pome fruits!<\/strong>
    Berries and citruses work as well (especially citruses)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you try any of these combinations, let me know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to store them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I usually store my cakes\/loaf cakes\/muffins into an airtight container at room temperature (or into the fridge if I've used ricotta or something \"fresh\").
    My tip: when you want to eat them, warm them up using your microwave. A few seconds are enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
