Chunky apple and marmalade cake...

Apple cake, actually any form of apple cake is one of my favourite types of all cakes. There are as many different types of apple cake as there are types of apples! Each and everyone different, with a distinctive taste and some unique qualities - texture, form, shape...

In this version of an apple cake you can definitely taste the almonds and a hint of whiskey too. Hope you'll try it, especially that apples are available all year round and are one of the cheapest fruit you can get.

How to make it...

Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons whiskey
- 100 g sultanas
- 100 g ground almonds
- 175 g light brown or plain white flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 3-4 large eating apples (about 500 g in total)
- 200 g vegan butter, softened (like Flora)
- 200 g soft dark brown sugar
- 2 flax eggs eggs (6 tablespoons ground flax seeds with 6 tablespoons water, whisk together until thick and frothy)
- 150 g thick-cut orange marmalade (I used mandarin marmalade)

Method:

- Preheat the oven to 170 C. Butter 20 cm spring-form cake tin.
- Warm the whiskey in a small pan, remove from the heat and add sultanas, leave to soak and cool down.
- Put the ground almonds, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl, combine and put aside. 
- Peel, quarter and core the apples, then slice thickly.
- Beat the butter and brown sugar together, ideally using mixer, beat until light and fluffy. 
- Beat in the flax eggs, adding spoon full of the flour mix with each.
- Add the remaining flour and fold it in.
- Beat the marmalade to loosen it a bit and fold into the mixture. 
- Follow with the sultanas and whiskey. 
- At the very end fold in the apples. 
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared cake tin.
- Bake for about 1 h 15 minutes, or until skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. 
- Leave the cake to cool in the tin for about 15 minutes, then turn out and leave on a wire rack to cool completely. 
- Dust with icing sugar if desired and enjoy!


Smacznego!
