Provided by Peter Lamont

Time 1h45m

Yield Makes 8 Slices

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Melt the Butter, remove from the heat and add apples, sugar and egg. Beat well and fold in the sifted dry ingredients.
  • Line the bottom of a well-greased loose-bottomed cake tin. (23cm is ideal but use what you have.) Pour in the mixture. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the cake.
  • Bake for 30-45 minutes until the centre springs back when pressed lightl. Test for doneness with a skewer or a knife.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough, so stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Fresh Spices: Freshly ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves will give your cake the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, use 1/2 teaspoon of each ground spice instead.
  • Don't Overbake the Cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry and crumbly.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost the cake, let it cool completely on a wire rack. This will help the cake to set and make it easier to frost.

Conclusion:

This easy spiced apple cake is the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of fall. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet and tangy apples, and warm spices, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
