- 125g unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 2 small red apples
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar, extra
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin.
- Core and quarter apples, then slice each quarter into further quarters (i.e. 16 slices per apple).
- Use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add eggs one at a time until well combined. Add flour and cream, beat until smooth.
- Pour into prepared tin and press apple slices, skin side up, into batter.
- The apple slices will be nearly touching. Sprinkle with cinnamon and caster sugar.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow cake to cool for 5 minutes in the tin and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
