I made this cake today, and it was such a success I thought I'd share the recipe with you all. Our workmen approved! ;D
Ingredients:
Serves: 12
150g butter
220g soft brown sugar
2 tablespoons treacle
250g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
3 teaspoons ground ginger
160ml buttermilk ( you can use 150 ml milk with a tbspn of lemon juice mixed in)
1 egg, beaten
2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
1.Preheat the oven to 170 C / Gas 3. Grease a 23cm (9 in) square cake tin and line the bottom with baking parchment.
2.In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, sugar and treacle. Once melted, remove from heat and cool slightly. Then add the buttermilk and egg, and stir well to combine. Stir in the chopped apples.
3.In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients, then add to the butter mixture and mix gently till combined.
4.Tip into the prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes*. Allow to cool in the tin before slicing and serving.
*I found it needed another 10 minutes in the oven.
Enjoy! ;D
