From the Country Women's Association Cakes cookbook. Contributed by N. McLeod from Victoria. A simple rustic type of cake. Nice served as a dessert cake with warm custard or ice-cream. You could use a sugar substitute like 'equal' in this cake Ingredients:
250 g plain flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
125 g sugar |
125 g butter |
3 -4 cooking apples, peeled cored and roughly chopped |
1 egg, beaten |
1/3 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Grease a 20cm round cake tin.
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder and the sugar.
4. Cut in the butter roughly with a knife (do not rub it in).
5. Add the apples.
6. Stir in the egg and milk to make a fairly stiff mixture. The batter will appear fairly lumpy.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin.
8. Bake for about 1 hour.
9. Serve hot with custard or ice-cream.
10. This cake can be cooked ahead and reheated in the microwave as needed.
