GRAN'S APPLE TEA CAKE
This is one of my favourite cake recipes ever. It's so easy to make, I'm the world's worst cake maker and mine turn out perfect every time. I have substituted grated apple for diced as I find that the cake comes out much more moist. Feel free to change it back if you prefer. I also like to leave the skin on for texture, again feel free to alter as you see fit.

Steps:
- Line a large cake tin with baking paper, and pre heat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, mixed spice and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add eggs, beating mix after each addition. The mixture may separate at this point, this is natural so either ignore it (as i do) or add a tablespoon of the flour mix to 'settle' it down.
- Carefully fold in dry ingredients, alternating with apple.
- Add milk if necessary to get a thick creamy texture.
- Turn cake into the tin, and top with apple slices (i like to make this into a nice pattern).
- Combine cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle over apple slices.
- Bake for one hour, or until cake springs back to the touch.
- I find this cake doubles well, although you need to be careful of cooking time. It also freezes well.
MATZO APPLE TEA CAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil. Add the sugar, matzo, potato starch, and salt and mix until blended. Stir in the apples.

- Cool on a rack and remove from the tin when they are at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use a combination of different apples. This will give the cake a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
- Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
- Grate the apples using the large holes of a box grater. This will create a fine, even texture that will distribute evenly throughout the cake.
- Be sure to drain the excess liquid from the apples before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too wet.
- Use a light touch when mixing the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This should take about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
