When I
read this in my newspaper, I thought the editor was kidding. Spiced cake in a
dessert?! And toasted?! I’ve had weird food but this seemed to beat them all.
But since it incorporates caramelized apple I decided to give it a try any way.
For each
happy diner you’ll need:
*one
apple, I prefer the sweet ones
*10 g of
sugar, mixed with 2/3 tsp of powdered cinnamon
*10 g
butter
*1 slice
of spiced cake (ontbijtkoek)
*1 scoop
of vanilla ice cream
Peel and
core the apple, slice in four parts. Melt the butter in the pan over high heat,
add the apples and then sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples. The fun
part is rolling around the apples in the butter so they get a nice glaze.
Caramelize them in about ten minutes. Meanwhile, toast the spiced cake. Put a
scoop of ice cream on the toast, and then add the apples. Here’s the trick: use
the left-over butter and sugar to poor over the ice-cream, cake and apples.
Delicious! It’s the weirdest dessert I ever had but for sure one of the
tastiest I ever made.
Variation tip: adding maple syrup at any stage of the process wouldn't kill it...
