This is my little presents for you! :)
Ingredients:
3 eggs
150 grm of sugar
150 grm of unsalted butter
200 grm of flour
1 tbsp of baking powder
the zest of a lemon
4/5 Apples (depending on their size) (Mum recommends Golden but I tried different ones and they all work well)
- 20 cm diameter round cake tin
Method:
Pre-heat the oven at 170/180 Celsius;
Melt the butter on low heat;
Put the sugar in a bowl and add the 3 eggs, work them together till they are nice and smooth;
Add the melted butter and keep mixing;
Add and mix both flour and baking powder (I normally sieve them in the mixture);
Add the lemon zest (orange zest and ground cinnamon if you are doing the Christmas version);
Peel the 4 apples, dice 2 of them and add them to the mixture. Slice the other 2 and use to garnish the top of your cake;
Grease the cake tin with some butter and dust it with flour;
Pour the mixture in the tin, add the apple slices and dust with sugar, as shown in the picture below (poor quality sorry);
Put your cake in the oven for about 1 hour (or till ready), NB: Do not open the oven for the first 20 minutes;
Once ready let it cool and enjoy!
Merry Christmas!
