Apple Cake with Crunchy Spiced Topping

19/2/2018

0 Comments

 
A family favourite, the original magazine cutting has been in my cookbook for decades! My daughter has been the one to make this for years now, so I'm a bit out of practice, but knowing how much she likes it, I cooked one for her birthday this week. She adds the tip that she likes to add extra slices of apple arranged on top before cooking, which looks really good. I'll do that next time. :-)

A simple to make cake, this would also be wonderful with some whipped cream, yoghurt or ice cream, or with custard.
Ingredients:
2 2/3 cups (370g) wholemeal flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup caster sugar
185g butter (melted)
1/2 cup water
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 medium (450g) applies, peeled and sliced (plus extras to decorate top)

For topping:
60g butter, melted
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Method:
Grease a 22cm round cake pan, line base and sides with baking paper. 

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add butter, water and eggs, mix well. Fold in apples. 
Spread mixture into prepared pan. (Optional: top with extra apple slices). 

Mix topping ingredients together. Carefully pour/spread over cake mixture. 

Bake 150C for 1 3/4 hours until cooked through. Cool in pan. Carefully turn out cake and remove paper. Serve.
