Apple cake
This cake tastes like an apple pie in cake form - the crispy top is to die for!
125g demerara sugar
250g of self raising flour, sifted
50g butter, room temperature
5 small apples, cored, peeled and sliced
1 egg
100ml milk
1tsp cinnamon
Method:
1. Preheat oven to gas mark 5 (175C fan). Put the sugar, flour, butter, apples and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl.
2. Beat the egg together with the milk then add to the rest of the ingredients. Mix together with your hands. The mixture will be quite wet and it will seem that is there is not enough cake mix for the apples. The apples will shrink when cooking so don't worry about this.
3. Grease the cake tin and pour in the mixture. Sprinkle the top of the mixture with more sugar (about 2 teaspoons)
4. Bake for 35 minutes then remove from the oven and sprinkle over some more sugar and some cinnamon. Return to the oven and bake for a further 10 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Serve warm with vanilla pod ice cream, or just on it's own.
