Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cake completely sugar-free?
The recipe contains no added table sugar, but apples and raisins naturally contain sugars. Therefore, it is more accurate to call it a no-added-sugar cake rather than a completely sugar-free cake.
Can I make this cake without milk?
Yes. This recipe contains no milk, and the melted butter provides fat and moisture.
Can I replace the butter?
You can use approximately 1/4 cup of a neutral vegetable oil instead. The flavor and texture may differ slightly.
Why is my cake dense?
This recipe contains relatively little flour, so its texture depends heavily on the eggs and the moisture from the apples. Beating the eggs well, measuring ingredients accurately, and avoiding excessive mixing can help.
How should I store the cake?
Because this cake contains fresh fruit and eggs, let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Bring individual slices to room temperature before serving if desired.
Can I freeze it?
Yes. Cut the cooled cake into slices, wrap them individually, and freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months for best quality. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
