Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures

For the dry ingredients

  • 300 grams plain flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 200 grams raisins

For the wet ingredients

  • 150 grams butter Melted
  • 150 grams soft brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 medium apples Grated

Method

  1. This is a wet/dry cake method which is that you put all the wet ingredients in one bowl and all the dry ingredients in another bowl, then mix them together.
  2. The easiest way to grate the apples is take an apple whole a grate skin and all until you reach near the pips then turn it around until you only have the middle bit left.
  3. Mix together by hand so there is no flour lumps and put into the loaf tin. Bake for 45 to 60 mins.
  4. A skewer should come out clean when the cake is cooked through.

  • Baked this last night and I was a bit disappointed. I think the recipe needs a little more fluid in it as the cake mixture was rather stiff. I baked it at 160-170 degrees fan for 45 minutes and added on an extra 10 minutes. The bake was a bit too crumbly and heavy although the flavours were all good. Just to add that I am an experienced home-baker but I'll be tweaking this recipe some before I try it again.
