Today it was a rainy day and a good day to stay inside baking.  This is the BEST apple cake.  I am including the recipe below:

This recipe came from my mum and I have been making it for years too.  I just doubled everything to make two cakes, as shown above.  One is already gone - oops!  I tell you, it’s so good, you can’t stop! 

2 apples (I always use Granny Smiths)
250gm (4 oz) butter (half a stick)
1 egg
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Peel and chop the apples and put them in a large bowl with the sugar. Melt butter, beat the egg and combine the two.  Mix butter/egg mixture into sugar/apples bowl.  Sift in flour, baking soda, and spices.  Stir just enough to mix.

Spoon into greased tin. Cook for 50-60 mins at 180 C (350 F) then dust with icing sugar when cool.
