Apple and custard swirl tea cake is a delectable dessert that marries the tartness of apples with the rich, creamy flavor of custard, all encased in a fluffy, buttery cake. This recipe is perfect for an afternoon tea or special gatherings. By following these steps, you can create a moist, scrumptious cake that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, combine the vanilla custard powder and 1.5 cups of milk. Stir well to dissolve the custard powder.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a custard consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake tin with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared cake tin and spread evenly.
- Arrange half of the sliced apples over the batter.
- Pour the cooled custard over the apple layer.
- Top with the remaining cake batter and spread evenly. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top.
4. ### Baking:
- Bake in a preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, you can serve it as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Make sure to use self-raising flour to ensure the cake rises properly.
- Use fresh apples for the best flavor and texture.
- Room temperature eggs will mix more evenly and help achieve a smoother batter.
- Incorporate the buttermilk slowly to avoid curdling.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing to achieve a smooth batter.
- Prepare and measure all ingredients before starting to streamline the cooking process.
- Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
Once your Apple and custard swirl tea cake has baked to a golden perfection, allow it to cool before serving to fully enjoy the melding of flavors and textures. This cake is best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Share it with friends and family or savor it as a personal treat with your favorite cup of tea. Enjoy your homemade creation!
