3 cooking apples,
250g plain flour,
2tsp baking powder,
1 tsp cinnamon,
150g brown sugar,
150 g marg,
3 large eggs.
Preheat your oven to 180 C
Sift the flour and baking powder and cinnamon into a mixing bow and mix into the sugar, then melt the marg and when cool mix with the eggs, then you can add this to the dry mix , peal two of your apples and core, then dice into cubes the size of your fingertips, add these to your mix and stir in, if you don't they will go brown quickly so if your doing this as a last step stir while adding ingredients,stir as you go.
Then lastly you should have one Apple left, place the the mixture into a lined bottom cake tin and level the top, finish by pealing and coring this last Apple and place on the top in a fan if you like or you can just chop them and sprinkle, I'll add at this point I've also done this recipe with plums instead of Apple and it was lovely, and at Christmas I made this cake as a gift but sprinkled fudge bits on the top and added a bit of cider to the mix that was gratefully received lol!
So now all you need to do is bake it for 50 mins and test with skewer( put a skewer into the cake in a few different places and it should come out clean, if it does your done, if it doesn't then leave baking a few mins and recheck) do make sure it's a great cake but moist and if your skewer comes out just a little marked with mix leave another 5 mins, I don't want you shouting at me lol.
Now I like it to look gorgeous also so I made a quick easy glaze while the cake stood cooling, 25 g of marg and 3 tsp of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon, melt this together and drizzle over the cake, covering your Apple display so it shines, the cake should be allowed to completely cool out of the tin or it may sweat a bit, but keep in an air tight container when cool and it will be good for a week , if it lasts that long lol.
