Matt & I have both recently had another go at making it & I'd say it's now pretty jolly good!
...really easy & always yummy!
Melt 150 grams butter
add 1 C brown sugar
1 dsp- tbsp of good cinnamon ( I have an organic Indonesian cinnamon at the moment that is amazing)
1/2 c raisins...or sultanas, sticky raisins, golden sultanas or mixed jumbo raisins
mix in 2 large, peeled & fairly finely diced apples
add 1/2 chopped walnuts
then 2 free range eggs
lastly, gently mix in 2c flour
(I use 7 grain Zentrofen makes a slightly more crumbly
cake but is better for you & has more flavour )
& 2 tsps baking powder
turn in to a greased tin lined with baking paper
on the bottom
Bake at 160 degrees for 55- 60 mins
really nice as it is
or brilliant served warm with thick Greek
yoghurt & maybe a sprinkling of cinnamon
Still a great cake- another version made (with the addition of chopped dried apricots & cardamom on the 11th January 2020 for morning tea- the first time that we met Theresa's parents & sister.

Your cake looks delicious. Could you use wholemeal wheat flour and take out the fruit? Miss G. detests sultanas and raisins
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, yes you can use wholemeal flour or 1/2 white 1/2 wholemeal & no problem to leave out the raisins. You could substitute dried apricots, cranberries if you like or not at all. This cake is also great made with apple/tamarillo or apple/pear....& ginger.
