Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 tbsp of butter and 1/4 cup of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Gradually add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of self-raising flour and 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the 1 cup of milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Peel, core, and finely dice 1 apple.
- Fold the diced apple into the batter.
- Add the remaining 2 tbsp of vanilla extract into the batter. Gently mix until well incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve your delightful apple and vanilla tea cake. It's perfect with a cup of tea!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- Use a whisk or electric mixer to beat the eggs until light and fluffy, which will help the cake rise better.
- Gently fold the apple pieces into the batter to avoid over-mixing and keep the cake light.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor if desired.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure and texture.
