Moist Apple Cake
« on: November 29, 2008, 14:06:02 PM »
8oz Plain Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Bicarb
4oz Marg or Butter (I use buttter)
8oz Castor Sugar (or granulated)
2 medium apples (I lke it best when they are a bit sharp)  Peeled (if you want) and diced
2oz Walnuts
2oz Rasins or Sultanas (I use Sultanas)
2 Eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence

Sift flour, salt & Bicarb.

Rub in fat till fine breadcrumbs.

Stir in vanilla essence, sugar, apple, walnuts, fruit, and egg.

Add no other fluid, the juice from the apple adds moisture.  It'll be a lumpy, fairly dry mix.

Bake for 1 1/2 hrs at 170c  (which MAY be about Mk6)

OR, don't use the walnuts and use some almond essence, it's lovely.....[^]

It IS quick and easy, AND delicious.  It has to be easy for me.  I am lousy at cakes.  Good at eating them though  ;)

Now that sounds good, think i may have to give this one a try. Do you use cooking apples or eating apples?

Thanks

I buy something sharp like Granny Smith.  I am not sure if I have ever tried cooking apples.  But theres a lot od sugar in the cake, so the apple needs to have some go behind it.  Its a very easy cake and always turns out well.  Just don't panic when you mix it before putting it in the tin, it IS a dryish mix which gets its moisture from the fruit and possibly the sugar melting.

LOL!   Moe, don't ask me how it should turn out.  My cakes are doomed to go hard ROFL!

BUT, this cake comes out moist and er,sort of not firm, but definitely not light.  To put it another way, you need to cook it and see for yourself to see.  All I know is its the one cake I make that I know wont last long enough to become hard.

Enjoy :P


BB, I tell you what, I will make you one (when I get some apples) then we can meet and all I ask is I can have one piece (as I am trying to lose weight "Mother of the Groom" coming up & nowhere to hide in the photos).   :-\
