Firstly you need to preheat the over to 180c/Fan 160c/gas 4. You need a deep, round 9in cake tin that has been greased with grease proof paper. Then you should measure 225g of butter, 225g of light muscavado sugar, 3 large eggs, 100g of sultanas, 225g of self raising flour and 2 tsp of baking powder and mix them all together in a bowl until thoroughly blended. (The recipe also tells you to add 100g of chopped walnuts in to the mixture but I'm not a big fan of walnuts so I opted not to put them in my cake.)
Once you've finished mixing the ingredients, spoon half of the mixture into the cake tin and spread evenly, covering the bottom of the tin. Grate 400g of cooking apples, then spread in an even layer on top of the cake mixture. Also spread 1 tsp of cinnamon over the grated apples. Once you've done this, spoon the remaining cake mixture on top, level the surface. Before placing in the oven for 1hour 15mins, sprinkle a generous amount of light muscavado sugar across the top of the cake.
The cake is ready when it has turned a golden brown. Leave to cool for a few minutes before removing from tin. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
(Serving suggestion)
I ate mine after heating for a few seconds, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yuuummm!
