Spiced Apple Cake

RECIPE & PHOTOGRAPHER: Jaz Mathisen

Resident Station Cook.

This is a lovely cake to sit down to with a cup of tea. It is best with a cooking apple, as the tarter flavour pairs perfectly with the subtle warmth of the spices. To make it even more decadent, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yoghurt. 

 


spiced apple cake (1)

INGREDIENTS

2 cups self-raising flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt 

1 tsp cinnamon 

1 tsp mixed spice 

1 cup white sugar 

2 eggs 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

1 cup oil (I use melted coconut oil) 

2 large apples, peeled, cored and diced 

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
    In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, baking soda, salt, spices and sugar.  Make a well in the middle and pour in the eggs, vanilla extract and oil.  Gently mix until just combined.  Fold in the diced apple.

  2.  Line a cake tin with baking paper and pour in the cake batter.  Bake for approximately 1 hour or until the cake is cooked through – a.  A skewer inserted into the middle of the cake should come out clean.

  3. Cool for 5–10 minutes in the tin before transferring to a rack to cool.  Dust with icing sugar before serving.
