A light and comforting bake, perfect for Spring.
Ingredients
- 225g self-raising flour
- 110g caster sugar
- 110g butter, cubed and left at room temperature
- 4 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced
- 2 eggs
- 30ml milk
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 25g flaked almonds
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 170°C.
- Grease a 9" round baking tin.
- Add the butter and caster sugar to a bowl, use a wooden spoon and mix the butter and caster sugar until it has all come together (this is known as creaming the butter and sugar).
- Add in the eggs and milk, mix this, now add in the flour and give it a little mix.
- Add the sliced apples and mix this all together. Your mixture should be a little wet, if not add another tiny drop of milk.
- Put this all in the baking tin and smooth it all out.
- Add some brown sugar and flaked almonds to the top
- Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Use a small knife or a skewer and pierce it carefully in the centre, it should be dry when you remove it, if not bake the cake for another 5 minutes or so.
- Remove from the oven and leave it in the tin on a wire rack until it cools.
- Serve warm with some whipped cream or custard (or better again with some ice cream).
