EASIEST EVER MOIST APPLE CAKE
A very moist, perfectly spiced Apple Cake! This is incredibly easy to make - no mixer required. This must be made with fresh apples, not canned. See note 5 for information about different measures in different countries & different oven types. Also, I do not recommend substituting butter for all or part of the oil - it does not come out as moist and you can't taste buttery flavour anyway because of the spice flavourings! FREEZES great!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 20 x 30cm baking tray with baking parchment. Put the dates and milk in a small pan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and set aside for 15 mins to cool.
- Whizz the date mixture to a smooth purée in a food processor or blender, then scrape into a large mixing bowl. Tip in the butter, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, eggs, mixed spice and vanilla, and set aside while you prepare the apples.
- Quarter and core the apples, then slice quite thinly, tossing in a little lemon juice as you go. Quickly beat together the cake ingredients with an electric whisk until smooth, then scrape into the baking tray. Arrange the apple slices, overlapping in rows, on top of the cake - you should be able to get 3 rows lengthways down the tray. Bake for 45-50 mins until a skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the tray.
- Put the toffees in a small pan with a good splash of milk and gently melt, stirring, until runny. To finish, dust with a little icing sugar, then drizzle sauce all over the cake. Cut into squares or slices to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice contrast to the sweet sponge.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices provide the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, use half the amount of ground spices.
- Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry cake.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature: The cake is best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. It can be served with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of yogurt.

This spiced apple sponge cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a sweet and tangy apple filling.
