Author: Bear Naked Food
Recipe type: Baking
Serves: serves 6 to 8
- 2 large apples – peeled, cored and slice into 2-inch size
- 125g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 113g unsalted butter – soften at room temperature
- 130g caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp dark rum (omit if not available)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar for sprinkling
- Preheat oven at 175°C.
- Butter the base and sides of an 8-inch round or square pan generously and line the base with non-stick baking paper.
- In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt together. Mix well with a whisk.
- Cream butter and sugar with an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. It should come together in 2 mins.
- Add in eggs, milk, vanilla extract, rum and mix until combined. If it looks grainy that’s okay.
- Add in flour mixture and mix on low speed until flour just disappear. Do not over mix.
- Fold in apples with a spatula.
- Transfer batter into the baking pan and level the top with the spatula.
- Sprinkle sugar over the top and bake for 35 to 40 mins, until golden brown.
- Insert a bamboo skewer into the center of the cake to test. If it comes out clean, then it is ready.
- Transfer onto a cooling rack and allow to cool for 5 mins before removing from the pan.
- Cool the cake for another 30 mins before cutting into it.
- Dust with generous amount of powdered sugar and serve.
