Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round cake pan and set it aside.
In a skillet, melt the 1 teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced apples and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-8 minutes or until the apples are softened and caramelised. Set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 teaspoons of milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour while mixing continuously until a smooth batter forms.
Gently fold the caramelised apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once done, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and the cinnamon. Gradually add 1-2 teaspoons of water, mixing until you achieve a smooth, thick icing. If the icing is too thick, add a few more drops of water until you reach your desired consistency.
Once the cake has completely cooled, drizzle the cinnamon icing over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Use a spoon or a piping bag for more control. Let the icing set for a few minutes.
Slice the cake into wedges and serve. Enjoy your Caramelised Apple Tea Cake with Cinnamon Icing with a cup of tea or your favourite beverage!
Tips:
- Choose firm apples, such as Granny Smith, for caramelising as they hold their shape well during cooking.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing with the batter.
- To achieve a smooth, lump-free icing, sift the powdered sugar before mixing it with the cinnamon.
- Don't overmix the batter as it can lead to a denser cake; mix until just combined.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the icing to prevent it from melting and becoming runny.
