This cake is the only cake I can bake, so it is fool proof, and delicious. It is a success in Cambridge, was a success in Golden Bay and is taking Rakaia by storm with requests for the recipe! It was originally passed on to us by our friend Lucy, so thank you Lucy :)
Ingredients:
150 gr butter
2 large eggs
225 gr castor sugar
1/2 to 1 tea spoon vanilla extract
190 gr self raising flour, 35 ground almonds (the more ground almonds the better, reduce flour accordingly)
1.5 level teaspoons baking powder
about 3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
icing sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. Heat the oven to 190C
2. Grease a 10inch/25cm loose bottomed cake tin
3. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat until just runny and pour into a large bowl
4. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract and beat until well mixed
5. Mix together the flour, ground almonds and baking powder and sieve this into the mixture, and fold it in.
6. Put about half to 2/3 of the mixture in the cake tin.
7. Add the apple slices and arrange roughly on top
8. Spread the remaining mixture on top of the apples - it is always difficult to get this last bit of mixture smooth but don't worry as the blobs even out during cooking
9. Bake for about 45minutes, until the apple is tender when prodded with a knife or skewer.
10. Remove the cake from the tin, turn it upside down to cool on a rack
11. Dust with icing sugar and serve either when still warm or when cooled. This will keep well in the fridge for a few days.
