Today we have an abundance of nearly too ripe apples, sitting on the bench … I remember making a spiced apple cake for Matt & Christine when Lucy was born, so went off in hunt of that recipe, which I remember being absolutely delicious.
Of course, it’s another Annabel Langbein! Find the original recipe on the NZ Life and Leisure site, but here it is for the records!
125g butter
1 cup cooked apples (about 2-3 apples) or 1 x 225g can apples
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon each nutmeg, allspice and salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sultanas
icing sugar
Remove from heat and mix in apples and sugar. Stir to combine then stir in egg.
Sift dry ingredients and add along with sultanas to the apple mix. Stir just enough to blend ingredients evenly. Spread the mixture into a greased 20cm cake tin and bake for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar when cool.
Serves 6-8
