Gran's Apple Tea Cake image

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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 Large Cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 teaspoons baking powder
75 g butter
1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
2 eggs
2 -3 cups apples (diced)
1 -2 tablespoon milk
2 -3 apples (sliced)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons brown sugar

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.

This apple tea cake was a delightful treat! The flavors of apple and cinnamon perfectly complemented each other, and the cake was moist and fluffy. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream, and it was a hit with my family and friends.
