Time flies: It’s the beginning of the weekend again. Time to bake a cake. I chose apples again.
I hate recipes with amounts like large, medium and so on. So I weighed one large apple:
1 large apple weighs 284 grams or rather 10 oz, I’m impressed! This
Apple Cake
is very delicious with Bird’s Custard !

This can be served at teatime or as a pudding. In Gloucestershire we
would use an apple such as Red Two-year-old, but any good local
cooker would do.
1. Soak the sultanas in the cider or juice overnight. Heat oven to
160 °C/fan 140 °C/gas 3. Grease and line a 20 cm = 8 in springform
tin.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, one at a time,
beating as you go. Fold in the dry ingredients, lemon zest and
sliced apples. Add the sultanas and any juices, then spoon the
mixture into the tin and bake for 40-45 mins or until a skewer
inserted into the cake comes out clean.
After 45 min. baking I covered the tin with aluminium foil and continued baking for another 35 min.
3. Leave the cake to cool in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack.
Reheat the cake if you are serving it as a pudding and serve with
creme fraîche.
