Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Honey Layer: Pour the honey into the bottom of the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Apple Slices: Peel, core, and thinly slice the apple. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer over the honey, forming an attractive pattern.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, all-purpose flour, ground almonds, ginger, and cinnamon.
- Add Dry Ingredients to Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add Sour Cream: Fold in the sour cream until evenly incorporated.
- Garlic Addition: Grate the garlic cloves and fold them into the cake batter for an unexpected flavor twist.
- Spread the Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the apple slices in the cake pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool in Pan: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set.
- Invert the Cake: Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Place a serving plate over the cake pan and invert the cake onto the plate. Carefully lift off the pan to reveal the honey and apple topping.
Tips:
- To prevent the apple from browning, cut the slices just before you need them, or toss them with a bit of lemon juice if preparing in advance.
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- For a more pronounced spice flavor, you can increase the amount of ginger and cinnamon, or even add a pinch of nutmeg and ground cloves.
- Ensure all ingredients, especially the sour cream and eggs, are at room temperature to avoid curdling the batter.
- To make slicing the cake easier, allow it to cool completely before serving.
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider garnishing the top of the cake with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of toasted almond slices.
With its beautiful caramelized apple topping and rich, moist crumb, this Honey and Apple Cake is more than just a treat for your taste buds. It's a visual delight and a testament to the wonderful flavors that simple ingredients can bring together. Enjoy this cake with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and savor each delicious bite.
