Ingredients

3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup castor sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 apples

 

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a deep 9" (20 cm) cake pan.
  • Mix 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with 1 tablespoon sugar and sprinkle over the cake pan.
  • Peel, core and slice the apples into thin slices. We recommend getting an apple/peeler/slicer if you like cooking with apples.
  • Line the base of the pan with apple slices, overlapping them so there are no gaps for the cake mixture to leak through.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and the remaining cinnamon.
  • Cream the butter with the remainder of the sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually pour in honey while beating continuously.
  • Gradually add beaten eggs to the butter mixture (the mixture may curdle if added too quickly).
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the flour mix to the creamed mixture, and then pour in a little milk.
  • Continue folding in alternating flour and milk, finishing with the flour mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into the cake pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Cool for 15-20 minutes and and then turn upside down onto a cooling rack.
  • The apples should be caramelised and the cake should be a rich golden brown.
  • Dribble with Honey Syrup and serve.
