Method

  • Step 1

    Add the apple, butter, cinnamon, water, light brown sugar and cornflour in a small saucepan and bring it to a medium-low heat, allow the ingredients to simmer for approximately 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Reduce temperature if needed.

  • Step 2

    Prepare the cake batter while the apples are simmering in the pan, in a mixing bowl add the butter and white sugar and whisk together to create a paste, add the eggs and repeat whisking.

  • Step 3

    Sift the flour and cinnamon over the wet ingredients and whisk together to mix the wet and dry ingredients together – do not over mix.

  • Step 4

    Using a 26×20 baking tray, line it with greaseproof paper and place the caramelised apples directly in the tray and spread it evenly. Pour the cake batter over the caramelised apples and using a pallete knife spread it evenly throughout.

  • Step 5

    Preheat the oven to 170c degrees, (if you are using a regular oven, preheat the oven at the beginning), place in the oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Pierce to check the cake is bake, leave the cake to cool before slicing.
