This recipe combines the sweetness of caramelised apples with the rich tang of buttermilk, all enhanced by the warmth of cinnamon.

Ingredients:

1 tsp cinnamon
5g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1/3 cup brown sugar
72g
1.50 cups buttermilk
340g
2 eggs
100g
3 apples
480g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch (20cm) round cake tin with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the apple slices. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the apples are tender and starting to caramelise. Set aside to cool.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir until well mixed.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until well combined.
5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to over-mix.
6. Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake tin. Arrange half of the caramelised apples over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the apples, then arrange the remaining apples on top.
7. Bake the Cake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
8. Prepare Cinnamon Butter: While the cake is baking, prepare the cinnamon butter. In a small bowl, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and ground cinnamon until light and fluffy. Set aside.
9. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Once the cake is completely cool, serve it with a generous dollop of cinnamon butter on top.

Tips:

- Choose the right apples: Opt for apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They provide a balanced sweet-tart flavor that complements the richness of the buttermilk.

- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure that the buttermilk and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps achieve a smoother batter and more even baking.

- Caramelising the apples: Cook the apples in a bit of butter and brown sugar until they are golden brown and softened. This step enhances their natural sweetness and adds a lovely caramel flavor to the cake.

- Do not overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter. Overmixing can result in a denser cake.

- Checking for doneness: Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures the cake is fully cooked without being dry.

Your caramelised-apple buttermilk cake with cinnamon butter is now ready to be enjoyed. The blend of sweet, tangy, and warm flavors creates a dessert that's both comforting and irresistible. Serve it as a delightful end to a meal or enjoy it with a warm cup of tea or coffee.
