Easy Apple Spice Cake Recipe

Serves 8, Prep: 20 mins, Cook: 40 mins

115g unsalted butter
diced and chilled, plus extra for the tin
225g self-raising flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
115g light brown sugar
1 large egg
beaten
6-8 tbsp milk
225g Bramley or Granny Smith apples
peeled, cored and diced
100g sultanas
2 tbsp demerara sugar
(optional)
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a deep 20cm cake tin with baking parchment.
step 2
Mix the flour and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub into the flour using your fingers, until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the light brown sugar. Beat in the egg followed by 6-8 tbsp of milk – add it gradually until you have a smooth, thick batter.

step 3
Add the apples and sultanas and mix to combine. Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and gently level out. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar, if using, and bake for 30-40 mins or until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

step 4
Allow to cool in the tin for 15 mins and then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool further. Best served still warm with a little custard.

Every October, World Blindness Awareness Month brings attention to the blind and visually impaired community and the realities of living without sight. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “everyone, if they live long enough, will experience at least one eye disease or disorder in their lifetime.” Despite this reality, healthy behaviors established early in life can help the majority of the general population prevent complete loss of vision over the course of one’s lifetime.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Barry?

Exceptional Eyecare is our main focus.

Building a reputation for delivering the best eyecare in Wales.

Our practice has been around since the 1920s, and our current owners Annette and David came to the helm in 1982.

Since then they have made some significant changes in practice – not least the relocation to our current premises – and have enjoyed watching the business go from strength to strength.
