Method

This is a delicious Apple Cake that combines the sweetness of almonds, with the tartness of cooking apples to create a slice of cake that is melt-in-the-mouth memorable. Simple to make, it’s the perfect dessert for the colder months bringing you warmth and comfort with every flavoursome bite.

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C, 140°C Fan, 325°F, Gas 3. Line the cake tin with a circle of bakewell/parchment paper on the base. Butter and flour the sides of the cake tin and shake out the excess.
  2. Mix the sugar, flour, ground almonds and baking powder together in a bowl. Add the beaten eggs and melted butter and stir well.
  3. Put one-third of the batter into the cake tin. Place a layer of apples over the batter and then spoon the rest of the batter on top. Sprinkle the surface with flaked almonds. Bake in the oven for about 50-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  4. Turn out onto a wire tray and leave to cool. This is delicious served as a cake with afternoon tea, or with a good dollop of cream for dessert.
