Nanny's Apple Cake

Name: Nanny's Apple Cake
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 70 min
Total time: 80 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 250 g Butter; 100 g Caster sugar; 150 g Light brown sugar; 1 tsp Vanilla extract; 3 Medium eggs; 300 g Self-raining flour; 2 tsp Baking powder; 1 tsp Mixed spice; 109 g Ground almonds; 1 Lemon zest; 1 Lemon juice; 350 g Bramley apples; 2 tbsp Cornflour; 2 tbsp Demerara sugar

My Nanny had this wee apple cake recipe and it’s one of the best I've had yet. It's extremely light and has a lovely sweetness and gentle spice flavour. Then with the sweet and tarty bramley apples it really becomes the perfect combination. Not forgetting some thick custard for good measure. We're spoilt with the local produce here so I really encourage you to make the most of what's available. It's not just the taste that's superior, you're supporting the wee local businesses and farmers that are so special to the community!
