Yield 4 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR THE CAKE:
1/2 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
2 Tbsp superfine sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/8 cup milk
zest from 1 orange
FOR THE APPLES:
4 braeburn apples
1/4 cup butter
2 Tbsp clear honey
1/2 cup dates, diced
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp sliced almonds
TO SERVE:
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
dusting of powdered sugar

Steps:

  • SPICED APPLE CAKE: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degF 2. For the cake mixture, sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl with the salt and superfine sugar. Cut in the butter and rub together with your fingers until you form a bread crumb texture (or use a food processor). 3. Beat the egg in a measuring bowl with the vanilla extract, then pour in milk (up to about 1/2 cup mark). Add the milk and egg to the flour mixture and bring together to form the cake. Add a little orange zest (leaving most for the apple mixture), and mix through. 4. Peel, core and dice the apples. Add the butter to a hot frying pan and toss the apples before caramelizing with the honey. Add the chopped dates and cinnamon to the pan along with the rest of the orange zest. Cook for a few minutes, making sure that the apples are evenly coated with honey. 5. Divide the cooked apples into four individual baking dishes (approx 1 cup each). Use a piping bag to squeeze a thin layer of the cake mixture on top. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the cake mixture. Bake for 18 minutes until golden brown and risen in the center. 6. Serve the individual cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dusting of powdered sugar.
