Caramelised apple cake with Cointreau custard
This caramelised upside-down cake makes a sophisticated and indulgent dessert that is best served warm with the Cointreau custard
Pour the Cointreau into a warm heatproof glass. Add the freshly brewed black coffee and stir (add 1-2 tsp of brown sugar to make it sweeter if needed).
If adding cream, lightly whip the double cream until thickened. Very slowly pour the cream over the back of a teaspoon into the glass – this ensures it floats on top of the coffee in a layer.
