Recipe posted by aussiefi
Ingredients
- 2 green apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
- 1 cup chopped pitted dates
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
- 1 cup boiling water
- 125g butter
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour, sifted
TOPPING:
- 60g butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons milk
Method
Serves: -
- Place apples, dates and soda in a bowl. Pour over boiling water. Allow to stand until cool.
- Beat butter and sugar together in another bowl until thick and creamy. Blend in egg and vanilla. Fold flour and apple mixture (including all the juice) alternately into creamed mixture.
- Spread into a greased and lined 23cm springform tin.
- Bake in a moderate oven (180ºC) for 45 minutes.
- To prepare topping: place butter, sugar, coconut and milk in a small saucepan. heat, stirring, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved
- Remove cake from oven. Spread topping evenly over the top of cake.
- Bake for a further 15 minutes or until topping is golden and a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the tin. Carefully remove sides of the tin. Transfer cake to a serving plate.
- When I line a springform tin, I just tear off a rectangle of baking paper, place it over the base and clip the sides to the tin, keeping it in place. Then when I come to put the cake onto a serving dish, I use the paper to ease it onto the plate- get one corner and fold under then keep removing paper as cake goes onto plate if you kind of know what I mean!
