Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces butter
6 ounces dark brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
8 ounces whole meal flour
1 teaspoon ground mixed spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 lb cooking apple, peeled, cored and chopped
3 -4 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon clear honey

Steps:

  • Grease and line a deep 7" round cake tin with greaseproof paper (waxed paper).
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour, spices and baking powder and mix well. Fold in the apples and enough milk to make a soft dropping consistency.
  • Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and bake at 325F for 1 1/2 hours, until well risen and firm to the touch. Turn out on a wire rack to cool.
  • When the cake is cold, brush with the honey and sprinkle with the light brown sugar to decorate.
