Apple cake recipe

[Amandine Alexandre-Hughes]

This is the recipe of an apple cake I baked on Thursday for Kensal to Kilburn TT public meeting. 

Ingredients: -200 gr to 320 gr of peeled and deseeded apples cut in small pieces (depending on how moist you want your cake to be; I put a bit more than 300 gr of apples on Thursday but if you want to take the cake to a picnic maybe it's better to use 200 gr of apples) -180 gr of plain white flour -2 table spoons of baking powder -3 eggs -170 gr of caster sugar -150 gr of butter -half a spoon of cinnamon -a pinch of bicarbonate of soda -Optional: 60 gr of walnuts and a table spoon of sultanas (you need to put the sultanas in water for 30 minutes before starting mixing the other ingredients) How to proceed: 1) Turn on the oven (180 degrees).  2) Peel, unseed and cut the apples>  3) In a bowl, mix the eggs and the sugar until the mix is fluffy.  When the mix is fluffy - i.e. golden and light, throw everything else in the bowl. 4) Pour the mix in a cake form -I butter the form and put some flour on the bottom and sides of the form before I pour the mix in. It's much easier to take the cake out of the form once it's baked. 5) Put the form into the pre-heated oven. 6) Bake it for 50 minutes. If you put a knife into the cake, it should come out clean.  Enjoy!
