Each season its dessert trend. After the magic cake and the Angel cake (among others), here is the invisible cake. As aesthetic as it is gourmet, this light cake seduces the taste buds of gourmets and discourages those who try to lift their foot on the sweet.

What is a magic cake?

The recipe of this new food trend combines fruits (or vegetables) cut into very thin slices and a paste, fluid and light, close to that of pancakes or clafoutis, present in small quantities. During cooking, the fruits absorb the preparation ... which becomes almost invisible between the fruit slices of the final result. The invisible cake is ready!

Why we like it

This recipe easy to achieve and greedy combines the good points. The stars of the recipe are the fruits , usually apples and / or pears that are not only there for the decor but are the backbone of the cake! The dough disappears without flinching and the recipe gains in lightness: it is melting , soft and very digestible. In short, this light dessert is welcome after the parties and orgies galettes kings!
