Ingredients

125g butter
225g dark muscovado sugar
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
225g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
300g cooking apples (peeled, cored and diced)
2 tbsp clear honey
2 tbsp unrefined demerara sugar

Handy Hint

This dark, aromatic cake is even better after a day or two. Eat it as is or reheat and serve warm with a scoop of ice cream. Keeps for 3-4 days wrapped in foil.

Method

1. Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3.
2. Cream the butter and muscovado sugar in a food processor for a couple of minutes, then mix in the egg.
3. Sift in the flour, baking powder and spices. Fold together, then stir in the apple.
4. Pour into a buttered, base-lined 20cm springform cake tin and bake for one hour, or until risen and browned.
5. Combine the honey and demerara sugar and spread over the cake while still warm.
6. Remove from the tin and serve with cream or ice cream.
