This is another great cake for the fall. When apples are plentiful and delicious there are so many ways to thank mother nature for its bounty. I pick a lot of the wild apples in the fall, and turn them into great desserts.

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!

Number Of Ingredients 8

100g caster sugar
100g soft margarine
2 eggs
100g self-raising flour
1tsp baking powder
1 eating apple
1tsp cinnamon
2tsp demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/gas mark 4/fan 160C. Grease and line a 20cm cake tin.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend well into the cake.
  • Be sure to drain the apples well before adding them to the cake batter. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too wet.
  • Don't overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and make it easier to slice.
