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...
- 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.
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.
