Ingredients
- 225 g light brown sugar
- 225 g butter softened
- 225 g self raising flour
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 medium apples approx. 400g before peeling and coring
- 50 g sultanas optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C fan / 180°C conventional / Gas Mark 4. Grease or line a 20cm/8-inch cake tin.
- Cream the sugar and butter together until pale and fluffy.
- Add the flour and cinnamon, then stir to combine.
- Add the beaten eggs and mix until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped apples and sultanas (if using).
- Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and bake for 1 hour, checking at 45 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Test with a skewer — if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Cool in the tin for 15–20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve plain, with custard, or with ice cream.
