Moist Dairy free Apple Cake

Hello my friends,

For over a year now, the apple and mascarpone cake has been the most-read recipe on the blog, by far, with over 200,000 visits to this single recipe!

I’ve received many requests for a lactose-free version for those who are intolerant.

So here is the soft apple cake without lactose.

I experimented a bit to find the right balance in the ingredient proportions, and I finally nailed it.

I did a « blind test » on my kids (is it wrong to use your kids as testers???), serving them the cake without mentioning anything. They didn’t notice a thing! So, I now have a version that is very, very close in taste and texture to the original mascarpone recipe!! Victory!!

Basically, I replaced the mascarpone with Greek-style soy yogurt, reduced the number of eggs, and increased the flour quantity to achieve a batter that wasn’t too runny.

And honestly, you can hardly tell the difference!!

Necessary utensils:

• A large bowl and my professional whisk from De Buyer
• Or my kMix from Kenwood
• My Affinity non-stick pan from De Buyer
• My 26 cm springform pan.

You can make the same recipe in an 18 cm pan by halving all the quantities.

Alright, let’s get started.

The recipe, Chef!
