Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Stand Mixer
  • Kitchen Scales
  • Wooden spoon
  • 2lb Loaf tin
  • loaf tin liners

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cooking apples
  • 3 regular eating apples (I used Royal Gala)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 250 grams unsalted butter
  • 250 grams light brown soft sugar
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 250 grams self-raising flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon mixed spice (nutmeg and cinnamon)
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 100 grams fudge pieces (I got mine from Sainsburys)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (sprinkle when cool)

Instructions
 

  • Line 2 x 2lb loaf tins with liners and preheat the oven to 180ºC/160º fan.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. You can do this in a stnad mixer or by hand in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the eggs one a time and mix in.
  • Sieve the flour and baking powder in to the mix and gently stir it in.
  • Add the spices and fudge pieces and gently fold into the mixture.
  • Peel and chop the apples in to small 1cm size chunks.
  • Sprinkle on the lemon juice and using kitchen paper blot off any excess juice.
  • Mix into the cake mixture and divide evenly between the two loaf tins.
  • Pop into the oven and bake for 40-55 minutes until golden brown and until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool on a wire rack and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • You can serve it warm or cold. Both taste great.

Notes

• It tastes good cold and also works really well when it's still warm with custard or ice cream.
• It is easily to store in an air tight container somewhere cool.
• It will last for 3-5 days if you don't manage to eat it all on the first day.
