Apple Tea Cake
This apple tea cake is soft, flavoursome and beautifully moist. It is also very easy – you only need 7 ingredients and an hour of baking!
Ingredients
- 2-3 apples, cored
- 200 g self-raising flour
- 100 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 125 ml Greek yogurt
- 1 free-range egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 90 ml sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
For baking tin
- 3 tablespoon semolina or all-purpose (plain) flour
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Crumble top (Optional)
- 3 tablespoon AP (plain) flour
- 2 tablespoon icing sugar
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170C/150C fan/ 302F.
- Wash and core the apples. Slice them thinly (2-3mm thick).
- Make the cake mix by mixing all dry ingredients together, then add egg, yogurt and oil. Mix together until you get a sticky thick dough. If using, make the crumble by rubbing all the flour, icing sugar and butter until you get a crumbly texture. Set aside.
- Prepare the baking tin: make it non-stick by rubbing butter around all of the insides and dusting it with semolina or all-purpose flour.
- Pour the cake mix into the baking tin, push it all to the sides (use a spatula), top the dough with sliced apples and the crumble, if using.
- Bake for 1 hour at the lower third of your oven until golden. Check with a bamboo stick that it comes out clean, if not, bake it for another 5 mins.
Notes
Possible swaps:
- Homemade self-raising flour: mix 200g all-purpose (plain) flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Plain natural yogurt, or single cream instead of Greek yogurt.
- Softened unsalted butter instead of sunflower oil.
