Apple And Ricotta Chocolate Custard Cake

Apple And Ricotta Chocolate Custard Cake

Posted 2015-03-01 by finyfollow

This cake is first made by making a chocolate pudding and then adding the apples and ricotta to this mixture.

It is quite unusual and it has a smooth, rich taste with a hint of apple noticeable.

I have used Pink Lady apples as these are tart, crisp as well as sweet and are my favourite apple.
Crisp, delicious Pink Lady apples


Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Makes: 10 servings

Ingredients
500 ml milk -I used Hi Lo
1½ cups coconut sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp cornflour
250g coarsely grated apples
220 g self raising flour
60 g cocoa powder -a good, organic one
350 g ricotta
70 ml vegetable oil
Light cream, to serve (optional)

Method
  • Put the milk in a saucepan on the hot plates and bring to the boil.

  • Grate the apples.


  • Whisk 1 cup of the coconut sugar, two of the eggs, vanilla and cornflour in a bowl and then pour it into the hot milk.

  • Preheat oven to about 160° fan forced and line a 24 cm springform with baking paper.

  • Return mixture to the stove and cook, stirring for about a minute or until it boils -it will start to thicken at this stage.


  • Pour into a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and leave to cool slightly.

  • Stir the grated apple, flour, cocoa, oil, ricotta, other two eggs and balance of coconut sugar into the custard mixture. Mix till it is fairly smooth -it will have small lumps depending on the ricotta that you use.


  • Pour into the prepared tin and bake for about 45 to 55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.


  • Serve warm with cream, and store remainder in fridge where it will keep for a week.


  • It is quite an unusual taste and is not like an ordinary chocolate cake!
