Ingredients

For the dough
300 g flour
200 g butter
200 g powdered sugar
6 pcs egg yolks
1/2 pack baking powder
200 ml milk
Zest of 1 lemon
For the apple layer:
1 kg apples, grated
5 tbsp sugar
1 pack banana flavored pudding powder
100 g raisins (can be omitted)
3 tbsp rum
1 pack cinnamon sugar
For the meringue:
6 egg whites
1 tbsp lemon juice
150 g sugar
5 tbsp desiccated coconut

preparation

This is how it works: First, stir the butter, powdered sugar, grated lemon peel and egg yolks until fluffy. Stir in flour, baking powder and milk in portions.

Then mix until smooth, spread on a baking tray and put in the oven. Bake the dough for about 30 minutes at 180 °C.

Then mix the grated apples with sugar in a saucepan. Add pudding powder, rum and raisins. (Personally, I left out the raisins this time.) Steam the grated apples until soft.

Then spread it over the pre-baked dough, smooth it out, sprinkle with cinnamon and spread the coconut egg whites on top. For the egg whites, beat the egg whites with sugar and lemon juice until stiff and finally fold in the coconut flakes.

Now bake the cake for another half hour until the meringue gets a golden brown color.
