'I will use these apples if it kills me' cake

[den_the_cat]

Your normal two egg cake batter
tablespoon or so of cinnamon and of vanilla extract
three large cooking apples

Topping:
1 smaller cooking apple
Demerara sugar
about 1 tsp cinnamon
oat flake based cerial if you have some


make a normal two egg cake batter however you prefer to, adding the cinnamon and a good slug of vanilla. Keep the mixture quite firm (don't add milk to slacken it)

Peel, core and roughly chop the three large apples, mix into the cake batter. Pour into medium sized greased and floured loaf tin.

Peel core and more finely chop the small apple, mix with the demerara, more cinnamon and a tablespoon of oat flakes if you want extra crunch. Put evenly over the top of the cake and press it down a bit into the top of the cake.

Bake for about an hour (check it from about 45 minutes) at gas 4-5 (180ish), until the top is browned and the cake is squidgy. A knife should come out clean. Cool it in the tin for a bit so it firms up a little.


Really nice warm with icecream or cooled. It obviously stays very very moist because its so apple-y so its not a light cake but its very good. The cooking apples make it quite tart so you might want to add extra sugar but that depends on your apples and your tastebuds.
