  • 40 ml whole milk

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan) and line an 8x10" baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

For the apples

  • Peel and dice your apples, then whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Coat the apples in the mix, then set aside.

For the cinnamon swirl

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until fully combined, then set aside.

For the cake

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, and baking powder, then whisk together until combined.
  • Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs and whisk until just combined, then gently stir in the butter.
  • Fold in your apples, then pour the batter into your prepared tin, spreading it out to the edges.
  • Dollop on the cinnamon mixture, then swirl it through the batter with a knife.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.

For the glaze

  • Mix together the icing sugar and milk with a spoon until runny and smooth.
  • Pour the glaze over the warm cake and spread it out evenly.
  • Let it cool in the tin for around 45 minutes, then slice into 16-20 pieces.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Test the cake only for doneness, as the apples and cinnamon swirl will still be wet and gooey. You can use water instead of milk for the glaze, adjusting the amount as needed.
