Apple Loaf Cake is a community recipe submitted by realfoodie and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

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.

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.

Mix together by hand so there is no flour lumps and put into the loaf tin. Bake for 45 to 60 mins.

A skewer should come out clean when the cake is cooked through.

Additional Information

You can cook this any baking tin or cake case but the easiest is a large bread loaf tin. The best thing is to line the loaf tin. This can be done as neatly or roughly as you prefer. When in a rush I just cut an approximate size of baking paper and lay it on top. The weight of the mixture will mould the cake to the right shape. I always grate the apples last. Heat the oven to 180 degrees centigrade.

What 3 Others have said

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.
