It has been a rainy fall weekend. Went to the annual staff gala on Friday and danced so much my joints ache. Today (Sunday) I decided to make slow cooked tomato sauce, it is still cooking. And took the time to try a new version of traditional Icelandic apple cake but a gluten free version.
For the tomato sauce:
1 kg of roma tomatoes
2 tbsp of butter
1 onion cut into eights
Put it all in a pan cover and put it on low, simmer for hours. (I will finish it tomorrow)
Traditional apple cake (Gluten Free) Super quick and simple
200 g of butter
1 c of raw sugar
3 eggs
1 1/4 c of gluten free flour (I found Dove's Farm here in Iceland and rather like it)
1/2 c of nut flour (almond or hazel nut, I find adding just a bit of this if you can eat nuts keeps the cakes moist)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 c greek yoghurt (the orginal called for cream but I didn´t have any so I thought I would try this and it worked)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1-2 granny smith apples peeled and sliced
2 tbsp of cinnamon sugar (I shook cinnamon and 2 tsp of sugar on top as I don´t keep this on hand)
Grease round cake pan. Cream butter and sugar until well blended (it wont look light if you use raw sugar. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Add flours and baking powder and mix well. Add yoghurt and vanilla and mix well. Peel apples, slice into pieces. Pour batter into greased form and spread evenly. Push apple pieces into batter, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over top. Bake at 175 C (which is about 350 F) for about 40 minutes. (It is good to check with GF cakes as they can cook faster and get dry). Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
