Apple teacake

Apple teacake is a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of apples with the comforting flavors of cinnamon and a tender cake base. Perfect for an afternoon tea or a scrumptious dessert, this recipe is simple to follow and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 egg
50g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
2 apples
320g
1 tbsp brown sugar
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer or a handheld beater until light and fluffy.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla:
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
5. Prepare Apples:
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Gently fold half of the apple slices into the batter.
6. Pour Batter:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top of the batter, slightly overlapping them in a decorative pattern.
7. Topping:
Sprinkle the top with the brown sugar evenly.
8. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Cool:
Allow the teacake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Slice and enjoy your Apple Teacake warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee!

Tips:

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you begin to ensure it creams well with the sugar.

- When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix as it can make the cake dense.

- Use a toothpick to check the doneness of the cake. Insert it into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.

- For an extra touch, sprinkle a light dusting of powdered sugar over the cake before serving.

- Consider using a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor profile.

- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing it from breaking apart.

Your apple teacake is now ready! The golden brown crust paired with the juicy apples and a hint of cinnamon makes for a perfect slice of comfort. Enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee, or serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
