Apple tea cake

Apple tea cake is a delightful blend of moist cake and sweet apples, with a hint of cinnamon to enhance its flavor. It’s a perfect treat for tea time, or any special occasion when you crave a comforting, homemade dessert. This recipe combines simple ingredients to create a cake that’s easy to prepare yet impressively delicious.

Ingredients:

2 apples
320g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g
2 tsp cinnamon
6g
1 cup sugar
200g
1 cup butter
220g
3 cups self-raising flour
450g
4 eggs
200g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Apples:
- In a medium bowl, toss the chopped apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the apples and toss again to coat evenly. Set aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the Eggs:
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift the self-raising flour and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon together.
6. Mix in Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, folding gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
7. Incorporate the Apples:
- Gently fold in the prepared apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your apple tea cake with a cup of tea or coffee!

Tips:

- Choose firm, crisp apples for the best texture in your cake.

- To ensure even mixing, bring butter and eggs to room temperature before starting.

- Don’t overmix the batter, which can make the cake dense. Mix until just combined.

- For an extra touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top of the cake batter before baking.

- Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to maintain its shape.

- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.

Apple tea cake is a simple yet flavorful dessert that brings together the classic tastes of apples and cinnamon in a soft, moist cake. Easy to make and incredibly satisfying, this cake is sure to become a favorite in your household.
