I chance upon this recipe in a magazine a couple of years ago and never got around to baking it. I was looking for an easy recipe so that I can try to bake it with my Happycall Ocher Pan. This recipe pops up again while I was flipping through my collections and I decided to give it a go.
The Apple & Cinnamon combination is just heavenly :) The cake is moist and lightly buttery, not those super buttery cake that I simply don't fancy.
I would recommend that you try it out and perhaps invite some friends over for tea for a splendid afternoon. You can either choose to use Granny Smith Apple or for sweeter option, go for small Crunchy Red Apples.
The trick is during the process of folding in of the flour. Do not overmix the batter as if you do, the cake will be rubbery and not fluffy. Use a rubber spatula and gently fold the flour in.
