This went down a treat, especially with one Missy Slam Dunks.
200g butter
200g golden caster sugar
3 eggs
200g self-raising flour plus a little baking powder, sifted
3 tsps cinnamon
two bramley apples, peeled and cut into small chunks/grated, squeezed to remove excess juice
handful sultanas
lemon juice to taste
demerara sugar to sprinkle on top
Cream the butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time. Mix in the flour, followed by the other ingredients. Pour into cake tin and sprinkle with demerara sugar, bake at 180 celcius for about 40 mins (he's a bit hazy on the details).
Look: **1/2 Looked like an ordinary cake.
Taste: **** Excellent, lovely apple flavour with subtle spicing, not too sweet or overpowering.
Texture: ***** Sumblime. Soft and not too moist, contrasting with a delicious sugar crust on top.
Week 1?!!! What about all the other delicious cakes that went before? And do I get a credit?

Well OK then.
ReplyDeleteJust a couple of things to add:
It's more chunks than grated apple maybe 2/3 to 1/3 ratio and I only squeezed the grated bits.
I baked it for about an hour at 150oC(ish) but that is in a fan oven.
