Apple cake
Back after a long break from blogging.. Thanks to the trekking we went one weekend, whole family went blues with cold. Took almost a week to be back to normal routine. Then there was something i was hooked into for another week -designed summer collections for me and megha. Finished 2 pieces of them – pretty layered frock for megha and designer black kurta for me. I will post them soon. Now coming back to recipes, though i had couple of them waiting in drafts to be posted, i wanted something special to post after coming from this long break.
Who could be more special in my life other than my daughter. She agreed to prepare a recipe with me and she insisted on going with apple. After running through my cookbooks, we decided on this apple cake. We had a great time together baking and whole moments were captured by my husband, another guest for this special occasion. Here is the recipe for u -
Ingredients:
- Self raising flour – 1 cup
- Castor sugar – 1/2 cup
- Butter – 110 gm, melted
- Apple – 2 small, peeled, chopped into small chunks
- Egg – 2
- Icing sugar – to decorate
Method:
1. In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar at high speed till creamy and fluffy
2. Add melted butter and flour and beat at medium speed to mix well
3. Finally bind in apple chunks to the cake mixture
4. Preheat oven to 180*C and grease baking pan . Pour the mixture into pan and bake for 20-25 min or till golden brown and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean
5. Leave the cake in the pan for 10 mins and then cool it on a wire rack. Sift over a little icing sugar before serving
Note :
1. I used muffin pan for mini cakes and it needs only 10-12 mins for baking
2. This time i didn’t line the pan with baking paper. I wanted the apple to melt with butter to give more flavour
3. Give enough time for the cake to rest in pan after baking. Don’t turn it down immediately or else u will end up with some portion of cake stuck at bottom of the pan. No worries in case if u r using spring-form pan
