A truly delicious \u2014 simply fantastic \u2014 apple cake with the addition of apricot jam. The apricot brings extra depth of flavour and a lovely autumnal colour, with the flavours complementing each other beautifully. It\u2019s a small cake, baked in a 20 cm tin, but because it tastes so good, it often disappears while still warm ;).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ingredients for the cake:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 140 g butter<\/li>\n
• 80 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• 1 large egg<\/li>\n
• 200 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Ingredients for the apple filling:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • 500 g apples<\/li>\n
  • 3 tablespoons demerara sugar<\/li>\n
  • 3 tablespoons apricot jam<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    All ingredients should be at room temperature. Peel, core and slice the apples into thick (about 1 cm) slices. Toss with the demerara sugar and set aside. Place all the cake ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until combined, forming a soft, slightly sticky dough.<\/p>\n

    Line a 20 cm round tin with baking parchment. Press two-thirds of the dough into the base of the tin using your fingers, making sure it evenly covers the bottom. Spread the apples over the dough, then dot the apricot jam on top using a teaspoon. Cover with the remaining dough, tearing off small pieces and placing them over the fruit. It doesn\u2019t need to fully cover the apples \u2014 gaps are perfectly fine, as the dough will spread during baking.<\/p>\n

    Bake at 170\u00b0C for about 45\u201350 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a plate and dust with icing sugar.<\/p>\n

    Additionally:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
    • icing sugar, for dusting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Serve warm, for example with vanilla yoghurt.<\/p>\n

      Enjoy!<\/p>\n
