I’ve had a wicked craving for apple cakes lately, and after trying two recipes that absolutely failed (I call them Crapplecakes) I enlisted the help Bee who lives over at Honey Jumble.


INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cooking apples (I use Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup self-raising flour (or make you own using 1 cup plain spelt flour sifted with 2 tsp baking powder)
  • 125g butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or equivalent stevia; I use 1/2 teaspoon of 80% stevioside powder)
  • 2 beaten eggs
  • cinnamon

METHOD:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C
  2. Peel, core and chop apples into small pieces.
  3. Sift flour into a bowl, rub in butter to breadcrumb consistency.
  4. Mix in sugar, apple pieces and eggs. Stir well.
  5. Put into a greased 5cm x 20cm cake tin.
  6. Sprinkle with cinnamon (and sugar if using).
  7. Bake in oven for 35 minutes.
  8. Serve while hot as a dessert or cold as a cake.
