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:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, sift the self-raising flour and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon together.
- 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.
- Gently fold in the prepared apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- 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.
- 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.
