Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F.
  2. Divide the eggs and beat the egg whites to stiff. Set aside.
  3. Now peel the apples, take out the inner part and cut in medium-small cubes. Put the ghee to melt.
  4. Add to the apples cubes the walnut paste and mix. Add the vanilla, Rum and lemon zest, mix well.
  5. Add the butter, the egg yolks and sugar, mix well.
  6. Weight the flour, add the backing powder and mix. Add the flour mix to the apple mix and stir until all is well combined. Should be a little dry and heavy.
  7. Now add the stiff egg whites and fold them in. In the beginning it is a little difficult and you may think that will never work. But it will incorporate well, don’t worry.
  8. Now put the whole mixture into a round cake form, previously greased with some ghee and maybe some flour. Put into the oven and let it bake for around 40 minutes, It should not change color on the top.
  9. The cake is ready when the stick-proof is relative clean. It should be still wet inside, the apples don’t have to dry out.
  10. Take out of the oven, let the cake cool on a cooling rack.
  11. When the cake is still a little warm, take it out of the baking form and put the melted chocolate on the top, let it run down on the sides. If you have some decoration put it on the top when the chocolate is still runny.
  12. The the chocolate harden and serve.
Recipe Notes

The cake is great without anything, but also with homemade ice-cream or some whipped cream (from coconut cream).

I stored the cake on room temperature for 4 days (after that it was finished). In case you prefer a fridge storage, cover the cake, otherwise it will dry out.
