Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 12 squares

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs
6 ounces caster sugar (superfine), plus 1/2 ounce extra sugar, for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 ounces milk
4 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
2 small or 1 large Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples
2 1/2 ounces heavy cream, to serve

Steps:

  • This cake has been made at Ballymaloe for years. We even have guests who ask for it specifically every time they visit. The fruit sinks to the bottom as it cooks, leaving a light sponge on top with a lovely sugary crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line the sides and base of a 8 by 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
  • Using an electric whisk or hand held mixer, whisk the eggs, 6 ounces caster sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, until the mixture is thick and mousse-like, and the whisk leaves a figure of eight pattern, this will take about 5 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan with the milk, and then pour the mixture onto the eggs, whisking continuously. Sift in the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder, and fold carefully into the batter so that there are no lumps of flour. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, and smooth the surface.
  • Peel and core the apples, and cut them into thin slices, and then arrange them over the batter. They will sink to the bottom. This is meant to happen! Sprinkle the cake with the remaining 1/2 ounce sugar, and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, and bake until well risen and golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the tin, cut into squares and serve warm. It is delicious with cream!

DUTCH APPLE LOAF CAKE



Dutch Apple Loaf Cake image

There's plenty of recipes for this cake listed, but I think this one sounds a little different. Found it online at Taste of Home. It looks fairly simple and baked in a loaf pan. It would be a great take along for potlucks or just an easy snack for the family. Now that our apple trees are full and ripe, it's a great time to try this out. As an update, finally got around to trying this and loved it. Simple, with a nice presentation and very good. I did add a cup of chopped pecans as we love nuts and everyone enjoyed it. Don't make the mistake I did though - be aware that the divided sugar puts 3 Tablespoons in the apples and then the 1 cup goes in the batter.
