Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a deep 20cm cake tin with baking parchment.
- Mix the flour and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub into the flour using your fingers, until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the light brown sugar. Beat in the egg followed by 6-8 tbsp of milk - add it gradually until you have a smooth, thick batter.
- Add the apples and sultanas and mix to combine. Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and gently level out. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar, if using, and bake for 30-40 mins or until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the tin for 15 mins and then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool further. Best served still warm with a little custard.

Steps:
- First make the stewed apple. Peel, core and chop the apple into chunks and add into a large pan with the sugar, cinammon and splash of water. Heat on high until a smooth paste is formed - don't worry about a few lumps. Leave to cool in a bowl of cold water/in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 150C fan (170C conventional) and grease a medium sized cake tin.
- Cream the margarine and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, including the cooled stewed apple - if it's too hot then the mixture, eggs in particular, will begin to cook.
- Mix until fully combined and pour into the prepared cake tin. Place in the oven and leave for 35-45mins. It won't rise too much, but is ready when a skewer comes out clean.
- Leave to cool before removing from the tin - it is a delicate cake that will fall apart if not left for long enough.
Tips:
- Prep Work: Before starting, preheat your oven to the required temperature and grease and flour two round cake tins. This ensures even baking and prevents the cake from sticking.
- Measuring Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially flour and sugar. This ensures consistent results and prevents the cake from being too dense or dry.
- Creaming Butter and Sugar: When creaming butter and sugar, beat them until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Adding Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the mixture from curdling and ensures the eggs are fully incorporated.
- Folding in Flour: Gently fold in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with milk or yogurt. This prevents overmixing, which can result in a tough cake.
- Baking: Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures the cake is fully cooked through.
- Cooling: Allow the cake to cool completely in the tins before icing. This prevents the icing from melting and ensures the cake holds its shape.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, baking the perfect apple and sultana cake requires careful attention to detail and following a few key tips. From preparing the ingredients to baking and cooling the cake, each step plays a crucial role in achieving a moist, flavorful, and visually appealing cake.
