A super most fresh apple cake with a lovely honey flavour
Ingredients
150gSoftened Butter
225gCaster Sugar
4Free-Range Medium Eggs
225gSelf Raising Flour
100gSoured Cream
2Pink Lady applespeeled, cored and cubed (or any dessert apples)
1Tablespoonrunny Honey
Drizzle of runny Honey for top
Instructions
Preheat oven 180C (160C fan) / 350F / Gas4
Line a rectangular cake tin with baking parchment and grease well (10' x 8') Guess you could also make it round too and thus 8' tin) or a Loaf tin 15 x 4
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. I used a stand mixer. It can be done by hand and banish those bingo wings?
Next add one egg at a time, beating throughly, if the mix starts to curdle add a tablespoon of the flour.
Carry on adding the eggs until all combined
Add the flour and mix until smooth
Then add the soured cream and apple chunks, giving it a good old stir
Finally stir through 1 tablespoon honey
Tip into the lined baking tin and smooth top
Give it a quick drizzle with honey - I went diagonal stripes
Pop in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until firm to the touch and golden brown (time dependant on cake tin size) If you are using a loaf tin - bake will be approx 40-45 minutes!
Remove from the oven, cool for 10 minutes and tip onto a cooling tray
Serve warm with custard / cream or ice cream or leave to cool and have a square with your brew!
