Last Autumn I was looking for a apple cake recipe that didn't include raisins and came across this fantastic Danish apple cake recipe on the Merry Berry website. This cake is perfect served warm with creme fraiche or for afternoon tea with a cup of tea. Once you have made this cake it won't be around for long!!
Ingredients:
225g self- raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
150g unsalted butter, melted
250g cooking apples, peeled and cored
30g flaked almonds
Dusting of icing sugar
Method:
1. preheat oven to 160oc and lightly grease a 20cm loose bottom tin.
2. Weigh out ingredients and thickly slice apples.
3. Melt the butter in a bain-marie.
4. Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, almond extract and melted butter into a bowl. Then mix together until blended and then beat for a minute.
4. Spread half the mixture into the prepared tin. Place the thickly sliced apples on the top of the mixture in the tin.
5. Use two spoons to roughly place the rest of the mixture over the apples. The mixture is fairly sticky, just make sure that the mixture is in the centre so that it can spread out in the oven.
6. Sprinkle with the almonds.
7. Bake in the oven for 1 1/4 hours or until golden and coming away from the sides of the tin.
8. Allow to cool and then sprinkle with a dusting of icing sugar.
