Ingredients
- 6 medium apples
- 100 g plain flour
- 100 g butter, soften + more to grease the tin
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 25 g cold butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Peel, core and chop the apples in smaller chunks.
- Melt the cold butter in a sauce pan, add the chopped apples together with the brown sugar, cinnamon and half a cup of water.
- Leave to cook for 3-4 minutes until the apples are slightly tender, and the liquid is evaporated.
- Butter a cake tin (non-detachable walls) well with butter, and arrange the apples in a single layer.
- In a food processor, add the flour, granulated sugar, soften butter, baking power, bicarb of soda, eggs, vanilla extract and milk.
- Blitz well until you get a smooth paste.
- Pour the batter over the apples, and bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Run a sharp knife around the edges of the cake, place a large plate on top, and turn the cake upside down in a swift move.
- Leave to cool before slicing.

Notes
- Click on the US Customary link to see the measurements displayed in cups and ounces.
- The servings can be adjusted by clicking the number next to Servings.
- Make sure you butter the cake tin really well, if the apples stick to the bottom of the tin, the top will be rather messy and it will lack the main ingredients.
- My heart-shaped cake tin is approximately 21 cm/8.5 inches long, and the cake has a really good height, so adjust the amount of ingredients used if your tin is larger/smaller.
