I've just got in from work and my phone alarm reminded me that I'd promised one of my work friends to bake a cake for her daughters cake sale Saturday morning. So, I got out my pinny and started baking. I decided to make an apple cake as it keeps well and is appreciated by almost everyone. Here's the recipe for those of you who like yummy cakes:



360g flour (+ 1 packet of baking powder)
240g margerine
180g brown sugar
1 pinch of salt
3 chopped cooking apples
3 eggs

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the margerine and mix until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Add the sugar and chopped cooking apples. Add the beaten eggs and mix together.
Put into a baking tin and cook for about 40mins in the middle of the oven at 180°C
Once the cake is cooked, take out of the oven and dredge with white sugar. Leave to cool.

Tip: I sometimes omit 1 egg and replace with apple juice. This makes a very moist cake.

Mmmmm Yummy. Shame I can't pinch a piece to go with my cup of tea...
