Frans’s Dutch apple cake
- 200 gr butter
- 200 gr self raising flour
- 200 gr sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2-3 spoons or splahes of milk
- 50 gr raisins or sultanas
- 4 or 5 apples peeled and cut into segments of about 5 mm wide(1/4 inch)
Preferably Bramley‘s - Cinnamon sugar: 5 table spoons of sugar with 2 tea spoons of cinnamon
- Pre heat oven at 180C
- Put sugar and flour +eggs in a bowl, and mix.
Add butter and the milk. Mix well at highest setting.
Add raisins/sultanas. - Butter bottom and side of 26cm cake tin,
add mixture and press in apple segments vertically and very close together,
till whole surface is covered.
I tend to put them radial, first the most outer ring, and then working towards the centre - Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top.
- Put in over for 40 min. Spike with skewer, cake is ready if spike comes out dry.
- If top is nice and brown, cover it with alu foil to prevent burning
(usually not required for fan assisted ovens…)
Cheers,
Frans
