This recipe is almost fool proof.  I actually don’t think it is possible to mess this one up.

It tastes so good. Buttery, sweet, moist. And it smells amazingly wholesome and comforting.

Apple Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

125g butter (softened)

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

3/4 cup flour

3/4 self raising flour

apples (I use a whole 495g tin)

Oven at 180C

Method:

Beat butter and sugar together until creamy

Beat in egg

Mix in flours, until just combined and resembles a dough like mixture

Divide the dough in half

Press out one half into a paper lined cake tin.

Put apples on top

Press other half on top of apples.

Bake for about 35 minutes.

THAT IS IT!!!!!

Notes on the recipe:

Feel free to use fresh apples, about two should do it.

Also, I like to sprinkle cinnamon sugar onto the apples.

I have been known to break up the second half of the dough and place bits over the apple, for a kind of holey result, but lately I just put a piece of baking paper onto the bench, and press it onto there, and then place it upside down on the apples, and peel off the paper. Easy.

You could use a rolling pin. If you really wanted to. But why bother right?

I’m sure this recipe would lend itself to many other fruits…should you care to experiment – I would LOVE to hear about it!!!!

Serve with cream, custard or ice cream.
