1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dark rum, such as Mount Gay
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated orange zest (2 oranges)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and 1/4-inch-diced (3 to 4 apples)
Vanilla ice cream, such as Haagen-Dazs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan.
  • Place the pecans on a sheet pan and toast them for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted. Set aside. Combine the rum and raisins in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 60 seconds. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla, and orange zest on medium speed for 3 minutes. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a medium bowl. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, just until combined. Drain the raisins, discarding the liquid. With a rubber spatula, fold the raisins, pecans, and apples into the batter. Spread into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Categories     Afternoon tea, Buffet, Dessert, Snack, Supper, Treat

Time 30m

Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 16

200g light muscovado sugar
200g softened butter
4 eggs , beaten
100g self-raising flour
100g plain wholemeal flour
2 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp milk
2 tsp ground mixed spice
4 peeled and cored small eating apples (Cox's are ideal)
1 tbsp light muscovado sugar
1 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp butter
50g roughly chopped blanched hazelnuts
100g butter , softened
140g icing sugar , sifted
drop vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. In a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
  • Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Once the cake mix is in the pan, poke into it thick slices from the 4 peeled and cored small eating apples (Cox's are ideal). Then bake for about 30 mins (half way through baking add the streusel mix on top of one of the cakes, see next step below) until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, roughly rub together the light muscovado sugar, plain flour and butter. Mix in the roughly chopped blanched hazelnuts. Half-way through baking, sprinkle the streusel mix on top of one of the cakes.
  • To make the filling, beat the butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in icing sugar. Beat in vanilla extract if you're using it. Spread the butter cream over the bottom of the sponge that doesn't have the streusel on top and sandwich the two halves of the cake. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.
