Autumn apple cake

Apple cake

With British apple season in full swing, this apple cake is a delicious way to use them up. All the ingredients can be found at TrueFood, including the new organic caster sugar available as a refill! It’s great as it is with a cup of tea, or makes a tasty pudding served warm with cream or custard.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sized apples, peeled, cored and finely diced
  • 175g Butter or margarine
  • 175g organic caster sugar – NEW to the TrueFood refill selection
  • 175g Doves organic self-raising flour
  • 30g organic ground almonds – available as a refill from TrueFood
  • 3 organic eggs, beaten
  • 1tsp vanilla extract

Method

  • Start by combining the butter, sugar and vanilla, and beating well until it starts to lighten in colour – this should take a few minutes in a food processor, or a bit longer if beating by hand but is an important step to ensure your cake is light and spongy.
  • Add 2 tbsp of the flour, followed by the eggs and mix well.
  • Add the rest of the flour and the ground almonds, along with half the diced apples, and gently mix until well combined with the rest of the mixture.
  • Add the milk and gently stir in.
  • Pour the batter into a lined cake tin (this works well as a traybake in a 20x20cm square tin) and sprinkle the remaining apple pieces on top.
  • Bake at 180 degrees C or 170 degrees C fan for about 30 minutes, until the cake is golden and a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.
