Apple Cinnamon Cake

I found a simple cake recipe in a magazine one day. The recipe looked and sounded delicious but I wasn't sure if my cake will turn out to be as good as it looks in the magazine. So I decided to take the challenge and give it a go.

Here are the ingredients...



2 eggs, separated
165g caster sugar
225g self-raising flour
180ml milk
45g butter, melted
½ teaspoon vanila extract
1 apple, cored and sliced

Cinnamon Topping
10g butter, melted
1 tablespoon caster sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon


Here are the step by step procedures:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C and lightly grease a 20cm cake pan.

2. Beat eggwhite until firm peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating constantly, until mixture is thick and glossy.

3. Beat in egg yolk.

4. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold through flour alternately with combined milk, butter and vanila extract, beginning and ending with flour.

5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and arrange apple slices on top.

6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

7. To make cinnamon topping,

brush the hot cake with melted butter and sprinkle with combined sugar and cinnamon.

8. Cut and serve warm.

There you go, yummy apple cinnamon cake. Mine looks like a mountain cause my cake pan is too shallow. If you use a deeper pan, you will get the perfect cake shape.

Now you can just sit back, relax and enjoy your afternoon tea with a slice of homemade cake :>
